here (http://english.pravda.ru/science/earth/06-10-2006/84913-comet-0)

According to the Russian astronomer Nikolai Fedorovsky, a giant comet flying at top speed is bound for Earth. Should the comet stay on the collision course, it may hit the planet in late October. The impact will cause devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and avalanches, says Fedorovsky. He saw the killer comet in a telescope two weeks ago. He managed to calculate the cometââ,¬â,,¢s trajectory



whoa!

You would still feel the effects, somehow though I think this has had a generous helping of hype applied.

theres no real point in digging a shelter as if anything reasonably big hits earth were all screwed anyway

They are not talking Siberia but Moscow area which is close to Sweden.

If its a big one then the more likely effect is global disaster, doesnt matter where it hits your brandy will be on the floor...

OTOH the chances of a comet hitting us is very small indeed.
