I was just reading about this in an article on the news.com.au website this morning... quite interesting and worrying at the same time.

Would an asteroid of that size (10 metres wide) have much of an affect when impacting Earth?

Also (***kind of off topic***), since when are asteroids of such small size? I always thought comets were small fragments of dust/rock and asteroids were mini planets... could anyone enlighten me please ? (I am a keen novice astronomer! hehe)
