Asteroid Impacts, 2036
Stephen Ward, a geophysicist with the University of California-Santa Cruz, came up with the projections based on the increased risk from Asteroid 2004 MN4.
The sky watchers expect MN4 to pass through a node in space called a resonance keyhole which could significantly alter its trajectory and bring it onto a heading that will make 2036 a rather good year for surfing...if you live 10 or more miles inland...maybe.

The estimated impact power of this asteroid would be roughly 1,000 megatons of TNT. Just for comparison, 1 megaton is equal to about 77 Hiroshima bombs.
I watched the two movies the first time and I thought, "Aw that's not so bad for the Pacific. It looks bad for the Gulf. 30 something feet at Port Aransas, Texas.
Then, I saw where it said meters. Port A could be under rough conversion is what...90 feet of water.
Pacific Ocean
Gulf of Mexico
