Meteor in Russia

[Grand58742]

11 ton meteor explodes over Russian city. Relatively small in the grand cosmic scheme of things, but still enough to cause damage:

The Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement that the meteor over the Chelyabinsk region entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 33,000 mph and shattered about 18-32 miles above ground.

SHTF in all shapes, sizes and times.

If it were bigger, hard to prep for that... You'd be dead before you even knew what that flash was...
