The end, unless you're a small proto-mammal ;).

An object (depending on consistency) of about 100m is enough to wipe out a city and do enough damage to the environment. Something of 8-20km is in the same category as what wiped out the dinosaurs (10-15km).

It’s going at 68km/s so I think even microbial life could be in trouble.

No, I can’t really imagine what that means, either.
