Woah. A 1% probability is a lot higher than I expected and am comfortable with (not that I can do anything about it)

- jampekka 2y agoUrban areas are only about 0.5% of earth surface, so rough approximation of a catastrophic hit chance is around 0.005%. The chance of you specifically being affected by this asteroid is vanishingly small. You should personally be more worried about crossing a road or plugging in an electric appliance or being hit by a lightning. For others there's a lot more devastation going on globally that you could even do something about.
- thebruce87m 2y agoDepends if it causes tsunamis
- jampekka 2y agoAn asteroid that size doesn't cause a very far reaching tsunami.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoNot really worried that it'll impact me directly, but rather the damage that it could cause if an urban area anywhere in the world.
