150 mt estimated impact energy. Hardly earth shattering. Meh...

Don't worry...the big one is coming in 2035.  And if it doesn't hit in 2035....it will just be that much closer the next time around...etc. The Russians are already studying the movie "Armageddon" to send people up there to blow it up....hahahaha

Can't tell if joking..But 1 on the Torino scale is the second lowest rank, lol...1 is normal. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/torino_scale.html

look what they say for ten, lol :

A collision is certain, capable of causing global climatic catastrophe that may threaten the future of civilization as we know it, whether impacting land or ocean. Such events occur on average once per 100,000 years, or less often.

Torino Scale Level 1:



A routine discovery in which a pass near the Earth is predicted that poses no unusual level of danger. Current calculations show the chance of collision is extremely unlikely with no cause for public attention or public concern. New telescopic observations very likely will lead to re-assignment to Level 0.

Who wants to wait 35 years? Maybe we'll get lucky and one will clobber us out of left field.

Interesting that it is the only asteroid with a Torino number greater than 0.  

I'll still hold my prepping until it moves up on the scale.

A "1" on the Torino Scale is this:

A routine discovery in which a pass near the Earth is predicted that poses no unusual level of danger. Current calculations show the chance of collision is extremely unlikely with no cause for public attention or public concern. New telescopic observations very likely will lead to re-assignment to Level 0.

The worst is "10"

A collision is certain, capable of causing global climatic catastrophe that may threaten the future of civilization as we know it, whether impacting land or ocean. Such events occur on average once per 100,000 years, or less often.
