   *It's also interesting that you might know "years ahead" that an asteroid would wreck a particular "risk corridor" on Earth's surface

     @bruces what? It’s not something you learn within 48hrs of impact? All the Hollywood distance movies would be lying? 😅

     @bruces A couple weeks ago the TV show 911: Lone Star ended its run with a two-part story involving a meteor strike in Austin. The meteor apparently came out of nowhere, no one was expecting it. To top off the insanity, fragments hit the massive cooling tower on a local college campus, damaging their nuclear reactor, nearly causing a meltdown. That’s one way to end a series with a bang.
