ATLAS can provide one day's warning for a 30-kiloton "town killer," a week for a 5-megaton "city killer," and three weeks for a 100-megaton "county killer".http://www.fallingstar.com/home.php
I suggest that you sign up for alerts, directly from the astronomers.
Also, here is my really cool Asteroid Mass and Energy Calculator, as a download

Using the NASA NEO list you can see a 53 Meter object flew by Sept 15, 2015 at 8500 m/s and less than 3 lunar distances from the earth.
Using my Asteroid calculator above, it would have had the energy impact of 13 atomic bombs.
Elon Musk ain't that smart. If he wants to terraform Mars, you need to send comets, not atom bombs, duh!
For the sake of completeness, we include the NASA Near Earth Object Program

You are appreciated stock. Why does enenews always run everyone off and have the same few droning on with some idiot asking for fresh meat. You are one of the few fresh , dynamic and honest voices there. atjere are others. There are genuine people who genuinely care about current most serious threat to the world and people that we should and can do something about.No more nuclear power plants. No more uranium or nuclear waste. There is something very goofy about enenews. I am very thankful for y9u and your passion and integrity, for majia, for Iori and all the independent citizen scientists who i know are not on tje 1.6 billion dollar nuc cartel wall of hell.
