it seems that a worst case direct hit by TU24 would be equivalent to a 2700 MT explosion - enough to take out a city, temporarily shut down a small state, or cause a medium tsunami. |
I could be mistaken, but it sounds like you are vastly under-estimating the effects of a 2-3GTenergy release. I mean its not an end-of-the-world senario, but its a very bad decade or so. Roughly on the order of a major Yellowstone eruption. the immediate devastation would spread across hundreds of square miles, and the impact would have global effects for decades.
