Rev 8: 7-12:
The first four of seven trumpet judgements are sounded:
1st Trumpet) vs. 7: The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
2nd Trumpet) vs. 8-9: And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
3rd Trumpet) vs. 10-11: And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
4th Trumpet) vs. 12-13: And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
These four trumpets deal in destructions of thirds. Trees and grass probably including vegetation in northern South America and southern North America, I imagine. A mountain burning with fire, which I suspect is a meteor hits in what I suspect will be the gulf of Mexico; killing sea life and the ships in this same area. The falling star can be another meteor or the same burning mountain listed in the prior verse; makes the rivers, lakes, and ground waters in these same areas polluting them with wormwood. A cloud of dust and debris will make the sun, moon, and stars to dim by a third expanding in the earth's atmosphere to cover the world, making crops all over to be less productive, which in turn will lead to the price of food to cost a days wages.
The reason, I suspect, that this occurs where it does is because it can't happen in Russia as the King of the North will be taken out when they attack Israel during the 2nd half of the Great Tribulation. Nor can it occur in Africa as North Africa will be taken out when they attact Israel shortly after Russia does. Europe and Asia must meet in the battle of Armageddon so they also will not be in the impact zone(s).
1 Pet 4: 17:
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
These first four trumpet judgements that, IMO, occur in the sourthern US and northern S. America become an act of mercy by the Lord because many of those that die from this judgement, will die before they have time to "fall away," from the Lord as per 1 Tim 4: 1:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
And in 2 Thes 2: 3:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Let me add here that the difference between stumbling and falling away is that when someone stumbles he gets back up, but when he falls away, 2 Pet 2: 20-21:
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Thanks for explaining the burning mountain. It sounds plausible, including the location of the Earth that gets impacted the most. It could be the reason why the Bible doesn't mention anything specific about the US. When I read what you wrote, it reminded me of this:
Scientist think this asteroid has been following our Earth's path for a century already but was just discovered in 2016. If something else hits it or it hits something else while it's this close to us, then the result can easily be that burning mountain falling to the Earth from the sky.
