Freehold, NJ  1.7 kilometer diameter       Update

At approximately 4:27 this morning EDT Asteroid 2004 Cyrus landed on Freehold, New Jersey. Since the discovery of its trajectory and impending impact about one year ago the governments of the US and Canada have done their best to relocate the populations of areas within 500 miles of Freehold. With the force of its blast estimated at 1,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT, the shockwave flattened buildings over much of New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. Firestorms are raging across the eastern United States as far as the Mississippi, creating a cloud of smoke and dust which will create life-threatening weather conditions worldwide. Predictions are for global cooling on the order of 4-8 degrees celsius (8-20 degrees Fahrenheit). Massive crop failures may lead to global starvation and hundreds of millions of additional deaths.
