Probably nothing much. Thousands of meteors hit the earth every year. In a typical year there are between 18,000 and 80,000 meteorites of 10 grams or more, which strike earth. That is more than 50 each day on average. I have not heard of any catastrophic outcome following the several hundred which hit last week. Have you?
