I doubt it’ll do much damage.

The asteroid was discovered by the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Tucson Arizona. This is the fourth prediction of an asteroid impact in 2024. In January, a bright fireball burned over Berlin and left behind extremely rare meteorites. In September, a bright fireball exploded over the Philippines. Another one burned over the Pacific in October. Four in one year is a new record!

The region where the fireball is expected to take place is scarcely populated so we might not get footage like after the Chelyabinsk meteor. Plus this asteroid is more than 30 times smaller than that so it won’t be as spectacular or damaging.

The village of Lansk might lose some phone service and windows... do they even have phones?

It was due about 15 minutes ago, 11:15 EST. At 0.7 meters diameter it will almost certainly burn up in the atmosphere, though some pieces may impact. It will be very close to midnight local time in Siberia when it enters the earth's atmosphere.
