Even if there is a 100ft space rock that close the odds of a hit are pretty big and even if it enters the atmosphere alot of it would burn up and what's left only has a 25% chance of hitting the ground. 25% ? That's a guaranteed hit if it hits atmosphere .... meteorites form up from pieces as small as the size of your fist.
Or do you have calculations to prove your assertion ? Serious question by the way.

Nope! All guess work. I have no idea how accurate any of these figures are. I do know 75% of the earth is water so the odds are it'd land in the ocean. The odds of it hitting us is 50/50 considering how close it is (approx 50,000miles).
To quote another famous American "what? me worry?"
