Thanks.
My knowledge of Iceland now can go beyond Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth.

So Chicken Little was right! And to think we made fun of him for all this time.

An expert on a news story I heard said it would take a warning period of months, not hours or a day

Comforting to know we can rebuild, test, and launch a space shuttle-ish craft in a matter of months...

The last time the asteroids came to earth with the one mile dia (est) rock, it ended the ice age; 1000 years later the next one mile dia (est) struck it brought on the Younger Dryas - colder than the ice age temps.

Search for “the Carolina Bays” and read “Magicians of the Gods”.

These rocks are thew remnants of a broken up comet. Usually we pass thru the part of the torus with the small stuff which make a nice shower. But once in a while we pass thru where the big stuff lives and they are civilization-enders and real climate changers.

No, nukes only make more pieces which hit more targets - all you an do is find a successful way to move the rock so it does not cross earth’s orbit.This presupposes you have already not only detected the rock, but calculated its actual orbit and crossing time - one miscalculation and the jig is up.

Someday within the next 20 years, scientists say, the likelihood of a major disastrous strike against the Earth is 100% for practical mathematical purposes. Yet we have not had one in our lifetimes and long before then.

You should keep in mind that Icelanders were fleeing from lutefisk.

have not had one during our lifetimes...….


I’m going to convince myself to stop worrying thanks to your post, and I’m looking forward to 2 or 3 periods of an hour’s sleep as usual, but I will have Coast to Coast a.m. with George Noori on the radio just in case.

Only one woman was known to have been hit on the stomach area by a meteorite fragment (Ann Hodges in Sylacauga,Alabama in 1954-—she lived.) A boy in Loxahatchee, FL was hit on the head by tiny meteorite fragments in Nov.,2013.

I may have to start wearing a helmet, though. Can I buy one with MAGA on it?

The last time a taurid swarm hit something that mattered was the night of the great Chicago fire. Wiped a swath, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. 1871, a three day period.

Survivors outside the area reported multiple observtions of “fire from the sky”.

The Chicago fire obviously eclipsed all media reporting. There were bigger fires, more casualties, not so much press.

We are 20 years into a 80 year window where these swarms
become a hazard.

The Chicago fire killed est 300. That same night, the Peshtigo fire killed est 1,500. Two other cites in the area burned, casualties unknown.

"not able to spot the massive space rock"

Even did spot it what could we do about it except stand around like the dinosaurs and watch it happen.

the debris could be obscuring two asteroid chunks

Hmm, things being obscured by meteors &c. Where have I heard -- oh right...

ExpressUK is famous for their click bait stories.

Since they did not Specifically NAME their Sources, that’s a dead givaway.

The sky is falling in. I’m so worried, I think I’ll go to bed and get a good nights sleep.
