  Gumby is right about that meteor that hit in Siberia. There is a book about it titled "The Fire Came By," which is what one of the local natives said about the night in question. Remember, this was in about 1910 so it took quite a while for news to get out about it, and even longer for scientists to arrive at the scene. What they saw was latter compared to the devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in that directly under the blast, everything that was still standing was standing straight up. That which was off to the side was lying in a position directly away from the direct blast site.

  This is a fascinating book. I read it back in about 1974. The book is out of print now, but it can be found in libraries, of course and in some rare and hard to find book stores. It's a good read if you're scientifically oriented at all.

  as a species we are lucky that the Tunguska event happened where it did, when it did. In the ocean it might have caused devastating sea surges. If it had happened during the cold-war, it might have been viewed as a preemptive ICBM hit, and sparked a global thermonuclear exchange.

  It is said that the imprint left from a huge celestial body millions upon millions of years ago, shaped what is Hudson Bay today, in northern Canada.

  Also there is a huge meteor crater in the Ungava district of northern Quebec as well.

  Parts of Hudson Bay have interesting astroblem (unsure of spelling) features, with uplift along the shoreline which is almost circular, with tiny narrow wisps of islands (Nastapoka Islands) and the unusual Belcher Islands, which look bizarre.

  If anything even minute in size compared to those formidable monster meteors of a zillion years ago, hit today, it'd be catastrophic.

  Thankfully, for what it's worth there are astronomers who monitor near-Earth bodies: asteroids, comets, rocks etc., that are floating about our solar system today.

  Think back to the Shoemaker-Levy comet that slammed into the southern hemisphere of Jupiter a few years back. The plume that was emitted from that large gas giant, was unbelievable.

  It's an interesting topic, meteors, meteorites, comets, asteroids and other celestial bodies. Just hope they don't hit on your birthday.

  You'd be too busy drowning in the tsunami or being minced under building rubble from the earthquakes.

  Damn! I didn't realise this thread was about Watchtower prophecy regarding Armageddon!
