Space closing in...

One of my fellow teachers sent this email a minute ago:

"Did you feel that gush of air that ruffled your hair yesterday. Not to worry. It was just a

30x65 ft diameter asteroid that passed within 49,000 miles of the earth yesterday. That's

5 times closer to the earth than the moon."

Cool :)

I've been through a typhoon, tropical depression and now space is hurtling asteroids at me. What is going on Mother Nature?? Seriously!
