I am right now sitting at work less than a quarter mile from where this happened. The old house burned about 10 years ago, Comet drive in across the street closes probably 20 years ago. The Comet gas station, restaurant, bait shop, pawn shop and convenience store is still open tho....

Got one of those nice roadside markers designating the spot a an “Historic” place. Hell, don't laugh. It's a small town and we get our kicks when we can.

I remember when Life did a story about this.

That issue is still up in the attic somewhere.

Lucky lady to live after getting hit like that.

Wonder what became of the meteorite.

Thanks for sharing this info. I 1st learned of the Hodge's meteorite around 1967. I always wanted to go by the site where it landed. I saw it about 10 years ago in the Alabama Museum of Natural History in Tuscaloosa.
