Meteorite Strikes Nicaraguan Capital

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

A huge explosion struck Managua, Nicaragua and officials say that a small meteorite caused it.

The meteor struck near the international airport just outside the city of 1.2 million people.  Officials say that the impact left a crater 39 feet wide and the impact shook the entire city.

Amazingly, no one was reported injured by the strike.

“We are convinced that this was a meteorite. We have seen the crater from the impact,” said Wilfredo Strauss of the Seismic Institute.  Strauss said that seismographs show a small wave when the meteorite hit the ground and a stronger one when the sound impacted the area.

Witnesses near the impact site say they heard a blast they thought was an explosion and then smelled something as if something had burned.

NASA had said last week that 2014 RC at the time of its closest approach should have been 25,000 miles from the planet and should have been over New Zealand at its closest approach.
