Hello Listers, I agree, this is a Hammer Meteorite Fall but I would go further with that phase and call it a Hammer Shower Fall cause 100's and 100's of hammer stones :)

Hi Juris & others interested, Mike Farmer tells me hundreds if not thousands of stones Have been recovered from roofs (but mixed in with all others). As for the shockwave question....debatable. Carancus in Peru Had a shockwave that killed a llama and a ewe, but also had ejected A mudball filled with meteoritic fragments hit the roof of a house. (See photo and story about 1/3rd down the page at: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Hammers3.html Under, CARANCUS) So, given the roof stones and the woman struck, Chelyabinsk is Definitely a hammer fall...though it remains to be seen if we will end up With specimens KNOWN to be hammer stones. (Ironically, hundreds Of hammer stones will end up in collections - but unidentified as such).
