"are so faint that they are almost impossible to find until they are right on top of us"
Right and wrong. This last one and another one in march(very close also) came at us from the sun. This means that with current technology we will be UNABLE to predict these types of trajectories. In other words our warning will be the bright light before the end of humanity. Scary to say the least. Fortuantely, as mentioned before, we currently can't do anything about it.
The last meter that size, Tunguska, flattened a swath path for hundreds of square miles. That's a city and then some!!!
Here's a link for more info:

Very interesting reading to say the least
