I've have this on my website

  A rain of 40 stones fell from the sky in 1911 near Nakhla in Egypt. The falls were
  preceded by an appearance of a cloud and detonations, frightening local residents.
  There is an eyewitness account that one of the fragments hit a dog. Attempts
  to authenticate the dog story have been inconclusive thus far.
  The stones from this meteorite fall ranged in size from 20g to 1813g,
  and it is estimated a total weight of 10kg (22 pounds) had fallen.

Kevin finds these statements unacceptable. He is entitled to his opinion.
These statements are accurate, concise and to the point. I see no reason
to change them.
