3680 grams.   H4

TKW 5.56 kg. Observed fall November 30, 1954, in Oak Grove, Alabama, USA.

Also called the Hodges meteorite because a fragment of it struck Ann Elizabeth Hodges. The grapefruit-sized fragment crashed through the roof of a frame house, bounced off a large wooden console radio, and hit Hodges while she napped on a couch. The 31-year-old woman was badly bruised on one side of her body but able to walk.
