It could be tough to find. If a dense rock like that was in a field and a
tornado went directly over it, it probably would not have moved at all.
However, it was suspended in a building of comparably much lighter material
with a large surface area. Collectively, when the building was ripped
apart, it could have been launched a considerable distance. Having virtually
no aerodynamic properties It is most likely within a 1/2 mile radius of
where it was originally housed. It may even be embedded in the soft earth.

Good evening Folks,

Certainly a half-ton rock couldn't have been thrown all that far. I
certainly expect and hope that Steve will have recovered it within the next
48 hours.

Best regards to you all,
