Biggest meteor shower since the Leonid shower in 01 and it is going to rain. I have seen about 100 the last couple of nights. Hope it is clear for a while. Meteors were criss crossing last night. That is when it is good.
Perseids tonight 200 an hour

The rates are usually highest on morning of the 12th. Apparently it continues strong tonight. I usually see 2 times as many per hour on the 12th than on 11th or 13th.

The Leonids in 1966 had rates of 1000 per minute in England. People got dizzy. I want to see that.
