    Astronomers estimated that the asteroid is the size of a football field and noted that an asteroid of that size could equal the force of a nuclear bomb if it struck Earth.

    Great unit of measurement, the football field. They are calling it a “city-killer”. Nothing to worry about, just hiroshima levels of death and destruction. It will likely (70%) hit ocean if it hits us at all, but I think none of us like those odds.
