“...could deliver a “glancing blow” to Earth sometime on Friday (Oct. 30)...”

~~~

Let’s parse the vaguery here;

“could” deliver (because we don’t want to commit to a plain declarative)

“glancing” blow (so probably nothing burger)

“sometime” on Friday Oct.30 (this makes a huge difference. Is it going to hit Asia, Africa/Europe, or North America??? The time on Oct.30th and the earths rotation are fairly important factors here)

So when is the next time Oct 30th is on a Friday. This must be a real slow moving one. Tomorrow is Friday the 29th.

I know, if they’d just give us an approximate time, I could arrange my lunch hour around it.
