Asteroid 2008 TC3: Impact

Small asteroid hits Earth.
As predicted.

Asteroid 2008 TC3 was just discovered and found to have 99.8% probability of hitting the Earth, most likely above Sudan, this morning. As reported widely on the news.

Here is a nifty pre-impact track image of TC3 and another one

Spaceweather.com reports, after dutch meterorologist Jacob Kuiper (any relation?) notified KLM crews to lookout for fireballs, that a crew reported a flash north of their track, possibly consistent with impact.
