ISON broke up going around the SUN, if anything survived it they are rocky pieces. They are not heading toward Earth, the pieces would stay on the same trajectory as ISON was......headed out into interstellar space, never to return.

Wasn’t Ison mostly ice? I am not worried about whatever rocks are left.

We shall see.
In the breakup, as those large pieces of a well over 5 miles in diameter comet come apart, trajectories change.
The gravitational pull of Venus, our moon, and our Earth, all tug on those pieces and affect their destination.
Think you safe?
Be prepared.
What is the impact energy of a piece traveling well over 300,000 miles per hour?
They're changing terminology from "Meteorite Shower" to "Meteorite Storm".
