The last day

In late 2023, Astronomers spotted an inbound object passing through the Oort Cloud, picking up comets and asteroids as it came. Like drawing a finger through a blob of paint.

It was determined to be a rogue blackhole, roughly the size of a bowling ball.
Further observation put it passing between Earth and our Moon in roughly 7 years.

The Moon could be dragged out of orbit.
The asteroids will be like Earth sitting in the barrel of a shotgun. Before that, the gravitational pull will rip our atmosphere apart, with the entire planet experiencing winds of 200 - 300 mph.
Earthquakes, Tsunamis, volcanoes.

Today is November 7th 2030 and the winds are rising.

I like the story.

Science knows what is happening but is powerless to stop it.



Cheers

Now that would make oceans roar.
