The calculations and modeling did not confirm that atmospheric effects of Apophis impact would have noticeable long lasting effects. Of course, localized destruction would be significant; if it hit North America Atlantic coast, it would probably wreck the whole coastal agglomeration. But since the impact belt would be predictable for quite a long time (months, maybe years, a large-scale evacuation would be possible)P.S. To be exact, large-scale evacuation would be possible, for, say, China. Americans would probably be arguing till the impact that "there is nothing in Constitution about asteroids!", "the asteroid is inflatable, it's all government plot to put all True Patriots in camps" and "asteroid impact effects are greatly exaggerated" (sorry, but I could not resist the pun
