Comets are visible the world over, not just in the US. Last year I saw a faint one, I cannot recall its name. Comet Holmes could be found in amateur telescopes in 2007, and Macholz a few years before that.
I saw comet McNaught in 2006, and Hyakutake was quite bright back in 1996. Hale-Bopp was another, even brighter comet just the year before it.
If you want to know when the last comet struck North America, that would not be known. An asteroid created the Barringer Crater in New Mexico about 50,000 years ago. It was probably a comet that created a big crater in the Gulf of Mexico some 65 million years ago. This month a report will be printed in Nature about a comet that may have exploded above where Chicago is some 14,000 years ago, which may have lead to the extinction of a number of North American megafauna, such as the woolly mammoth.
