<Had it been a big one, it would have been discovered at least a year before hitting.>

Actually, they aren't all found before passing nearby. Too often they are reported after they have already shot past!

Don't worry about craters. It's the waves from the splashdown which will matter. Hordes of people around the world are seething around the ocean edges. It's the biggest catastrophe ever, waiting to happen.

After it happens, governments will do the usual, as they always do after obviously dangerous situations, which they ignored, go wrong, saying that investigations will be conducted to see "why it happened and make sure it never happens again". It's so predictable.

Take a look around to see how predictable. mondatlas.de Lightning might not strike twice, but as you can see from choosing some pictures, bolides strike over and over again.
