Would love to get out for a drive tonight away from the lights.

The first great storm in modern times was the Leonids of November 1833. One estimate is over one hundred thousand meteors an hour, but another, done as the storm abated, estimated in excess of two hundred thousand meteors an hour over the entire region of North America east of the Rocky Mountains.
Thought you might like that Sheik.

Look forward to this every year.
I drive out into the country a ways to get further away from the city lights, sit in the bed of my pick up, fire up a media noche, and watch the sky for 40 minutes or so. I find predictions as to frequency are more or less worthless. some years when they predict high frequency I see very few, other times the complete opposite.

Question for those that watch every year. How much of a difference is there between the "peak" night and a couple nights before and after?

Can you please confirm that having multiple different kinds of sex during the meteor show will result in the participating female having one full year of consecutive good hair days.
Please.
Please.

Yes. Really, it goes on for about a month. But the peak time is between 4 and 5. That's when you have the best chance of seeing the most streaks across the sky.

Well? Anyone watch them last night?

My whole family woke up at 3:00 a.m. to go to a local park and watch. It was cloudy. We saw a bunch through the holes in the clouds but it was a little disappointing. Given the number we saw in the 5% of unclouded sky, it probably would have been pretty awesome if it was a clear night.

Too much light pollution here (DC area) to see em. Some years I go out to Western MD in August & watch from there... then the clouds roll in. :facepalm:
