About the size of a grain of sand, or perhaps a very small pebble. These kinds of meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere and burn up by the tens of thousands every day. Larger ones, like the one that exploded over northern California last month, happen perhaps once per year; scientists estimate that this meteor was, before it exploded, about the size of a mini-van. Very large ones that cause significant damage on the ground come along perhaps once in a thousand years.
The last meteor to do any large-scale damage was one that exploded in 1908 near the Siberian village of Tunguska. This knocked down trees for miles around, started a forest fire, and may have killed some people. However, the Siberian wilderness is not heavily populated, and we have no records of anybody who may have lived in the affected area.
