The nearest place where events with orders of magnitude more energy occur is just our atmosphere. Particles thousands of times more energetic, coming from yet undetermined sources in the Universe, strike the atmosphere (and the Moon, and the Sun, and all the other planets) all the time. Since the Earth is one of the smaller planets, it is more likely that such a theoretical black hole is created in, say, Jupiter or the Sun, than here.
