I just dropped a mile wide asteroid on New Orleans. The wind created would be a 7,832 mph wind. Jesus! All trees flattened from Houston to Birmingham.

Dropped a mile wide iron asteroid, max speed, 28° angle on mid-length between Hong Kong and Shanghai. 500,000,000+ dead.

I think somewhere between 25° and 30° is the goldilocks zone for entering the atmosphere? What angle does NASA use for re-entry?

I don’t even live in Louisiana and that was the first one I tried. Hit it with the largest iron asteroid going at top speed straight down hit. Took out most of the country west of the central plains.
