If it was on a collision course with Earth, then there will be no life ending catastrophe occurring. The asteroid is too small and would lose its battle with Earth's atmosphere and gravity as it is pulled in.
The force around the asteroid will tear it apart into smaller meteorites that will just light up the sky. Asteroids like 2015 HDI pass by Earth all the time granted not as close. While Earth's gravity is strong, it cannot compensate for the speed at with these asteroids travel. Moreover, the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn etc actually protect the Earth by "hurling" these space rocks away from us.
Amateur astronomers can view astroid 2015 HDI with an 8 inch or bigger telescope as it passes by the constellations Hydra, Antlia and Puppis with a magnitude of +13.2. Enjoy the cosmic wonders if the weather in your area permits it.
