Tsunamis went right over the top of the Sydney Heads into the harbor in the last millenium from the geological evidence that I've read about. I'd say the cliffs are 100 metres high.... So any beach front property on the ocean side would be in real trouble....

Yeah sure humanity will survive any impact but the loss of population will be very big as most people live close to the coast. For your 150m rock the waves wouldn't push too far inland....

It's mass if rock would be about 5 million tonnes, 18000 meters per second

This is the number of joules released:

7.90729E+17

:)

If that is released in one second that is 790million Gigawatts

Also that is like converting 9kg of matter into energy...
