By the way, fun factoid: the meteorite that hit the Earth 65 million years ago in the Gulf of Mexico would have generated winds up to 40000 mph in the immediate vicinity of the impact, and 600 mph as far away as Texas. A 600 mph gale is 3 times the force of the highest measured wind speed on Earth in modern times, and would have been sufficient to literally blow a dinosaur off its feet and away.

I love Bio.
