I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but BBC is covering this as we speak.
Asteroid to make close approach
Here is that bad boy coming for us:
Doesn't look so bad does it? Too bad its traveling at thousands of miles per hour...
The news story is covering pretty much the same things that have been discussed throughout the whole thread so nothing new I guess.
The moment of closest approach for 2007 TU24 is 0833 GMT. The asteroid is only expected to be visible through amateur telescopes that are three
inches (7.6cm) or larger.
8:33 am in England, that's 3:33 am in New York and 1:33 am where I live...So a little over
TWO hours and there should be some severe magnetic
interferences.
Expect your tv, internet, cell phone, and power to have some disturbances.
I'd get a back packed and ready to go.
Holy crap...I wonder if the last 2 days of pouring rain has anything to do with this?
Is an asteroid known to affect weather in such a way?
We are not in the monsoon season right now and it should not be raining this hard in Arizona...
I'm going to further investigate this matter.
Be prepared.
