Yes I heard that too? Which Island is that?

Okay not to be hokie pokie But we have had some strange weather and how do Astronmers really know if this Asteroid is not pulling on some kind of magnet wave causing gravity pool on earth...They are science guessers IMO

It is easy to know where it is going to be, when. They "grab" magnetic lines of force with their monoples, and roll along them.

Kind of like ships using lines of longitude to climb from the tropics towards the higher latitudes.

Nope. The object is in a heliocentric orbit that is perturbed by the gravity well of other objects in the solar system such as Jupiter.
