The asteroid 2012 DA 14 passed a little over 17,000 miles from earth. Although it passed within the orbits of geosynchronous satellites it did not hit satellite nor cause any disruption on earth other than making people nervous.
In an extraordinary coincidence, another object, which had not been detected, entered earth's atmosphere and exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The shockwave shattered windows, partially collapsed a factory, and injured more than 1,200 people. Fortunately nobody was killed. Fragments of this object reached the ground. It was the largest extraterrestrial object to hit earth since the Tunguska event of 1908. Surprisingly, this object was apparently unrelated to 2012 DA14 as it was on a completely different path.

One already has. A fairly sizable meteor, the largest in over 100 years, entered the atmosphere and broke up over Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15, 2013 with fragment striking the ground in open country. Thousands of meteors enter earth's atmosphere every year, but most never each the ground. This is a decent chance, though, that some other small fragments from other meteors will hit earth in 2013.

When will be the next meteor shower in 2014?
Small meteors hit the Earth every minute of each day. Larger meteors, big enough to be visible, hit the Earth several times each hour. In a "meteor shower", you may see over a hundred meteors an hour. Big meteors, big enough to hit the Earth, happen a few times every day. There are dozens of meteorite museums all over the country. Really big meteors, enough to cause a lot of damage, are fairly rare, fortunately. The last REALLY big meteor landed in Siberia, 100 years ago; it caused as much damage as an atomic bomb! Fortunately, very few people lived in Siberia back then.
