what time this sumbitch flyin by?

Regarding seismic activity - many threads have been written on the phases of the  Moon and Tides and the relation to seismic activity So why wouldn't an asteroid have some effect.

Nature's firing another warning shot across the bow of Spaceship Earth on Friday, and NASA will stream close-up views early in the afternoon.
 
At 2:25 p.m., asteroid 2012 DA14 will get within 17,150 miles of our planet - less than a twelfth of the distance to the moon and well inside the orbits of geosynchronous satellites, which apparently aren't in the 150-foot, 130,000-ton space rock's path.
 
A rock that size is big enough to destroy a city.
 
[b]Nothing this large has been observed coming this close, according to a Bloomberg report[/b].
 
Beginning about noon Friday, images of the approaching asteroid from astronomers in Europe and Australia will be streamed, weather permitting, at www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2.
 
For a half-hour starting at 2 p.m., NASA will begin providing commentary along with live images from observatories in Australia, again weather-permitting, at www.nasa.gov/ntv, as well as the link above.
 
It's just a hint, thank goodness, at much-scarier, though remote, possibilities

Original Message Feb. 14, 2013: For eons, Earth has felt the tremors of asteroids striking our planet. From the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago to the felled forests around Tunguska in 1908, the space rocks keep coming.
This week, Earth strikes back. When asteroid 2014 DA14 makes a record close approach to our planet on Feb. 15th, the space rock could be the one feeling tremors.
New research by Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at MIT, suggests that many near-Earth asteroids experience a seismic jolt when they pass too close to our planet’s gravitational field.
"We are going to be looking closely for evidence of seismic activity on 2014 DA14 as it passes by," says Binzel. "This is the first case of an object coming close enough to experience quakes AND where we have enough notice to plan observations."
