Hermes is about 1 km across. The Chicxulub object was about 10 km across.

Hermes is much too small to pasteurize the planet, but could still really ruin somone's whole week...

Remember, it's actually two asteroids approximately 400 meters in diameter each. Depending on the angle of impact, if both struck two different regions of this planet, or if both struck America, it would kill literally millions upon million of people, and I have no doubt, it would be a climate changing event for this planet, for some years to follow.....
