This asteroid came considerably closer!

When I first saw that it was going to be that close, I thought someone forgot at least one zero! Just to make me feel even more unsafe about the sky falling, I cant wait to see how close the estimates of a 15* deflection come. And which way did 'we' fling that thing? ;-)

It seem when the asteriod pass earth it effected our planet ?
Check out the World-Wide Seismograms readings, and it's around the same time period of Asteriod 2004 HF close-flyby, and it seem that Cook Island in the Pacific near New Zealand was effected the most. These are UTC times ?

I wonder where is NASA/JPL images ???
Come-on 14-inch telescope video images only ?

always larger swarms, shorter warning times and closer approaches
