If it was as big as a house when it hit, it would have left a somewhat larger crater.

Maybe the size of a basketball when it hit, probably smaller.

No kidding. A 500lb GP bomb would do about that much cratering.

Article says it was “a piece.” Presumably, it broke up on entry and the Managua strike was one of the fragments.

No, they’re saying the main asteroid that it broke off of was the size of a house. This thing was probably pretty small, like basketball or lesser size.

"If it was as big as a house when it hit, it would have left a somewhat larger crater."

I think the piece that flew on by was as big as a house. (I think that's what's being said)
