Here's to hoping that if it happens, it happens on the visible side (I know, highly unlikely), and that I can afford a telescope.

And that it happens between the hours the moon is actually visible to you.
and not asleep yet
That part can be manipulated a bit
I haven't even read the article, but the answer is either "no" or "almost certainly not" because otherwise the headline would be "Asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit the moon!"
It's 4% probability to hit the moon which in space terms is still pretty high considering most of space is made up of space.
