While you were hitting snooze, we nearly hit an asteroid! At 7:47 AM EST an asteroid we only first spotted Saturday gave us a wake up call.

, Thanks for sharing; any idea where could have hit Earth, if that would have happened?

If the trajectory were changed to impact Earth there is no telling where it would have hit. Stay vigilant!

what kind of damage would that have done?

Depending on actual size and where it hit, possibly something similar to what happened in Russia in 2013. Possibly none!
