According to the JPL the asteroid, 2004 XP14, is about a quarter mile wide and traveling at about 38,859 mph and missed the Earth today by about 262,000 miles (the moon is only 238,000 miles away!)

I guess we live to fight another day!!!

Just think this picture is from a asteroid that was only about 80 feet in diameter…image what a rock a ¼ mile wide could do…hmmmmmmmm.
