Great unit of measurement, the football field. They are calling it a "city-killer". Nothing to worry about, just hiroshima levels of death and destruction. It will likely (70%) hit ocean if it hits us at all, but I think none of us like those odds.
How do they know? What an accurate prediction of such an unlikely event! So if it hits, they say it will be on the non-oceanic side of the planet, and near the equator.
AFL or Association?
