One of the best things about "Lucifer's Hammer" was the research Niven and Pournelle must have done. While their comet was quite large and hit at several points around the world, it was plain that any large body crashing into our little ball of clay and water would cause every fault to suddenly and disasterously release any pent-up energy.
Tsunamis along the shores reaching way inland through river channels and super-violent earthquakes knocking down nearly every structure man had made. It wouldn't be pretty but it would be interesting. Your mountain home might indeed become beachfront property- if it survived!
