I'm no expert but ... 500lbs of concrete coming through your living room AT 500 MPH would probably render your house down to toothpicks. There's a whole lot of energy in that 500lb blob of rock when its moving that fast.

My point exactly!!
I saw a video of one of these cement bomb hitting an Iraqi tank that was hiding partially under a bridge. No explosion but the impact darn near knocked the tank out from under the bridge, and split it open like a can of corn!!!!

There's a whole lot of energy in that 500lb blob of rock when its moving that fast( 500 mph) About 4,175,293 foot-pounds of it. That's like having a 10,000 pound weight dropped on your house from 417 feet, (in a vacuum of course).
