FIVE Asteroids will entirely miss hitting the Earth this weekend. Collective worldwide groan heard.

From Jet Propulsion Labratory.

Three are "airplane-size", one "building-size" and one "bus-size" asteroid will miss Earth this weekend. 

I'm not aware of any new category that would include a Lizzo-size asteroid.

Here's a fun site: Asteroid Damage Visualization Map.

On the Left-side column, select a city or zip code. Then select the size of the asteroid. 

I always select the largest one, the size of "the side length of two large cities." You can also input your own dimensions in the box below the pre-selected size options.

Then click "VIEW DAMAGE". Oh - it's so much fun!

Here's an example. I selected Denver because it's somewhat "center-nation". Then I selected the size of "the side length of two large cities."

And, BOOM, there it is!

Make sure to hover your cursor over the circular patterns (at the link, not the above image) to find out if you're in areas of instant death, buildings destroyed, flying fatal debris or if you're skin will melt off. Hours of family fun entertainment!
