Giant 280ft asteroid will skim past Earth today in close flyby travelling at 30,420 miles per hour
(Daily Mail) – A massive asteroid believed to measure 280ftin diameter is set to fly past Earth this afternoon at a dizzying speed of 30,422 miles per hour. The asteroid, dubbed 2013 MD8, is expected to skim past Earth at just over 3 million miles away, or about 13 times the distance between Earth and the moon, at 12:55 pm (ET) on Tuesday. The huge space rock is expected to make a ‘close approach’ to Earth, but its trajectory should see it soar safely by.

Often when these things are near earth good sized quakes end up taking place from the gravity disrupting the gravity pull etc.
Guess we should hope it's not like the one that hit Russia a few years ago.
other news on this mother nature chit today too LOL....
Scientists call it California’s “other big one,” and they say it could cause three times as much damage as a major earthquake ripping along the San Andreas Fault.
‘Other Big One’: Rare Mega-Storm in L.A. Area Could Cause 3 Times as Much Damage as Major Earthquake
