I don't get why astronomers didn't see it coming and notify the authorities to evacuate the area?

From what I understand it was actually pretty small so they may have not picked it up.That, the meteor was about 10 tons, so about the size of a car. Plus, especially with something of that size, I would imagine getting an accurate evacuation area would be extremely difficult. Making predictions about things like this is terribly difficult, and it can be a darned if you do darned if you don't sort of situation, providing they even knew something this small was coming.But I'm thinking it's small enough that they didn't even pick it up.Really interesting to see, I'm glad no one was killed.
