E.g.

* Annual impact -- 5-20 kt (~Hiroshima)

* Indonesia superbolide (2009) -- 50 kt

* Tunguska (Siberia 1908) -- 10-15 Mt (~large hydrogen bomb)

* K-T extinction (65 MYA) -- 10^14 t = 100,000,000 Mt (complete detonation of ~2 million tons fusion fuel)

I'm not sure how far you can compare these figures -- issues like (i) how much energy is released as an atmospheric shock wave vs. infrared radiation vs. heat; (ii) what altitude the explosion is at.
