I stayed up all night, seeing nothing for a long while, finally saw some about 4 AM with increasing frequency til dawn (
yawn). I conservativley estimate we saw 150+ in the 2 1/2 hrs. Not bad at all, but not the "storm" predicted.
Interesting, buck, that you seem to be getting them over the course of the evening while here in TN there was nothing much, then a flurry of activity, or was that the case for you, too?
Actually I guess anything over 50 per hour is really good.
These meteors were very fast and short lived, but we had the occasional long streak with a slowly fading smoke trail.
At one point we saw about 7 within ~10-15 seconds!
I am very tired but I am glad I stayed up to witness this better than average shower.
