FWIW, that’s about the size of the asteroid that hit in Arizona.

Meteor crater in Az was caused by a meteor of about 150 feet wide. This one is about 20 to 40 feet wide. So the Az meteor was a lot bigger. But size is not everything, composition maters too and the Az meteor was solid iron so it did not burn up in the atmosphere and it hit the crust of the earth at 20,000 mph or higher. Most meteors and comets are not solid iron, they are ice and stones and unless really big never make it thru the atmosphere.
