I didn't here about it. As a reference point, the Tunguska, Siberia meteor of 1908 is roughly estimated to have been 100 to 300 feet across. A 30-50 footer would cause some very serious damage if it hit a populated area, but only local damage. But first, there's only a 25% chance of hitting land, and a much smaller chance of hitting a populated area. The Tunguska blast flattened over 800 square miles of forest, but killed no one.
