Scroll to the bottom of this RSOE link, we have two day's till a large one is only 2.3 distance away, May 19th anyone? [ link to hisz.rsoe.hu] Nope, a way bigger one on May 20th. Several miles diameter. It's not a large one. Looking at that chart any of those asteroids will miss earth by many many miles. Relax! The 2.3 equals to 768000 kms. Do you think it will impact earth that far? And then 19-43m of diameter it would probably burn out entering earth athmosphere.  Probably big enough to cause a Tunguska or Egypt-like event I guess if it were to explode in the atmosphere. For those not familiar with Egypt, thousands of years ago an asteroid exploded in the atmosphere and turned a large portion of the desert to glass. That said, the Tunguska might have been a much larger asteroid that just glanced off the outer atmosphere as well, since not many fragments were ever recovered at all. Thanks for the information OP. I don't like how we have only tracked about 30% of them. That's like 3000+ PHAs out there just chillin..
