Asteroid TU24

For as long as TU24 is inside Earth's magnetosphere there is going to be disturbance.
Severe weather is being reported worldwide since TU24's entry into the magnetosphere. From extreme conditions in China where thousands of motorists have been stranded on roads in blizzard conditions to Canada and the States to extreme cold in the Middle East and snow in Jerusalem and torrential dumping of rain in Australia. Cobar Shire Council is investigating State Government disaster relief to help the dozens of businesses and homes that were flooded when 100 millimetres of rain came down.There have been bitumen roads ripped up, fences lost, a problem at the cemetery with some of the grave sites sinking, homes completely flooded. The Mayor, Lillian Brady, says she has never seen so much rain.
Across the Midwest of USA the temperatures are plummeting by as much as 30 degrees in just a few hours. Meanwhile, a storm along the leading edge of the cold air mass led to an outbreak of blizzard conditions across eastern Iowa.
The severe cold can lead to hypothermia and frostbite after a brief period of exposure. Anyone spending extended periods outdoors and motorists traveling in isolated areas should be prepared for the extreme cold and snow.
There is severe risk of electromagnetic disturbance and extreme weather conditions between the dates of January 29 and February 5 2008 when the asteroid is closest to the Earth and well within our magnetosphere.
