I really think this will be non-event.
Odds are it will hit the ocean.
I've just done a big post about Playing the Numbers. There is a 70% chance it will hit the ocean (70% of our planets surface is water) and only a 30% chance it will hit land. So, odds are........1 in 3030 that it will hit earth, and then a 3 in 10 chance it will hit land. Which looks more like 1 in 9090 chance it will hit land. The UK is a small part of that land mass. So odds are more like 1 in 50'000 that the UK will be hit.
Non-event. But cool news, none-the-less.
