will pass by Earth today on September 17
How can they know how close it will get when they can't even sort out whether it will be the 7th or the 17th?

32 footer ? Not really. The 2013 Chelyabinsk Meteor was about twice the size (~60 feet) when it hit the upper atmosphere.
Not even CLOSE to a SMOD. . . .

Actually, there were three asteroids mentioned, and it was the third one that got my attention.
“According to a Nasa database another, much larger, asteroid is also set to sweep past us today - one that could cause ‘devastation’ if it hit our planet.
The huge asteroid could be up to a mile long (1.6km). But luckily the giant will pass at a safe distance of 7.3 million miles.
According to Space.com, an asteroid would need to be of larger than 0.6 miles wide (1 km) to have the force to wipe out humanity.”
