I remember reading there was an asteroid due to fly by earth sometime tonight which was considered a "city buster".
2012abunchofletters is supposed to fly by tonight, and that asteroid is quite a bit larger. This was a smaller, unrelated meteorite.

Known facts so far:
-Meteorite was 10-tons, 2 meters across
-Trajectory was over the Ural Mountains
-Nearly 1000 people were injured
-3,000 buildings were damaged

There's already a wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Russian_meteor_event
