Okay, but this is a big space rock that being the case why can't a peice break off and hurl at earth?
Only severe sun spots can cause that to happen; they tangle the magnetic lines. That what the solar observatories are for.
Last spring they were so bad that they knotted up to the point of turning one of the TV satellites inside out, and and it started beaming what everybody's TV was seeing back to the studio! They had to launch a replacement.
Even if a piece broke off on its own, it would more than likely follow the laws of physics and travel along with the main asteroid, same path and speed, like an astronaut stepping outside the space station. It would take tremendous force to alter even a small piece of Toutatis to a course toward earth at this point.
What about Post#38
It would take a massive internal force to liberate and re-direct a chuck of rock to hurtle toward Earth. There is no massive force available on that dead rock.
Again, sounding like the Kerry campaign. Is this cool, or what?
hehhehheh! Good one!
Well it just seems to me after:
4 Major Hurricaines in Florida
A Moderate Size Earthquake in California Happened Today
Volcanic Activity blowing up in Washington and Hawaii
(Currently Going on)
Alaska Earthquake Happened today
Harvest Red Full Moon Tonight
A Big Asteroid Passing Earth
Something is going On???????
Leg pulling! Go back & re-read #29. Ships don't "climb" lines of longitude, either.
LOL
Kerry a/k/a Toutatis, "son" of Dukakis...
Are you going to try and see the Asteroid in your yard tomorrow?
I agree, it's kind of strange for all of these things to be happening at once. I don't think Toutatis is large enough to be causing unusual gravitational effects, but it does seem like quite a bit of coincidence.
If it's in her yard, it's going to be pretty hard to miss. (rim shot, please)

Or his yard
I Know!
I am in the San Diego Ca Area it's still light out and very clear not one Cloud but I will be outside when it gets dark and give a Moon Report....
I don't think the Astronmers know all there
is to know about Space they know alot but not everything so all this crazy weather has something to do with maybe some kinda pull who knows we can guess too!
Huh? Oh wait like it's in his yard???
Our local area is pretty well charted, except for chunks of debris like the Kerry campaign. Anything that could steer the Kerry campaign or cause widespread effect on earth is pretty well accounted for, but that doesn't rule out the odd surprise.
John Edwards channeled Sir Isaac Newton for me, and he guarantees that you have nothing to worry about.
