Arizona, famously, is already home to a massive meteor crater.

An iron asteroid, some 98-164ft (30-50 meters) in diameter, impacted the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona an estimated 50,000 years ago, resulting in an enormous crater nearly a mile (1.6km) wide and 570ft (174 meters) deep.

The US Geological Survey says the impact "exploded with the force of over 2 million tons of TNT" - about 150 times the power of the atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima in World War II.
