Here's a link to an interesting article..

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/asteroid_jello_001122.html

Says the crater is 100 - 150 miles wide..

I would have to revise my estimate another power of 10....

1,000 megatons.. or .. 1 to 1.5 GIGATONS..

Thanks for the link.

That is a neat animation of the crater forming.
