We had a talk with a friend of ours the others day about meteors, both of us wondering what we’d do if it was reported a huge one was coming our way. For the most part, we figured it would be the end of all life on Earth and we really would not want to know about it.

But then we got to thinking about smaller meteors, the ones that will cause destruction but not necessarily doom everyone on Earth. There would be a backlash, of course, but could we manage?

What are the things we would have to do to stay alive if we did experience a meteor collision? We suppose it would depend on where the meteor touched down if we are in the direct line of impact but far enough away to have a major earthquake but still survive. Would it wipe out half the world’s crops? Would it make changes to our fresh water? So much to think about.

After the break read about the musings of another writer while visiting a meteor crater in Arizona. How would he prepare for such an event?
