Here is a very detailed report on bolide strikes from billions of years ago to this century. The only deaths suggested are a report from China of thousands killed.

Here is an interesting event which was not even known until the 1990s when and astronomer found a report from a Franciscan monk in the Vatican Library. I had read about it a few years ago in a book about impacts. What I read said it may have affected an area about 50 miles in diameter, less than half of the Tungusku diameter. Nevertheless it appears to have been impressive and probably bigger than the recent Russian event.

And don’t forget the 535-536 weather event:

The article doesn’t address it directly (it is the wikipedia) but some have suggested that it was caused by a double comet strike in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia.

Nice find! That book link I posted, uh, I think it’s in this topic, gave details of a early 20th c impact on Lake Michigan, and I’d never heard any of my plentiful old relatives refer to it (last one died in the 1990s), but it was quite a big deal, happened at night, people rushed out of their houses thinking the end of the world was at hand, and the EMP knocked out six local power plants.
