Anyone else watching? Seen some doozies last night. Don't have the balls to stay out till 4am(peek)
But I'll probably stay out till midnight. Already seen 7 in 20 mins. Clear skies no moon. Perfect viewing this year.

We saw a bunch here in NJ last night. Which is a surprise with all the light pollution. Makes me miss my home state of Maine.

We were up, saw nothing, went back to bed, got up - saw nothing, rinse/repeat. Glad you saw them!
@Smoqman Joel was there any clouds? Most people don't know this but you can see many more the next few nights till about the 16th!

Also check your light pollution in your area using this.

I went out for a while, but didn't see any. I live in a suburb about 20 min south of downtown KC so maybe to much light pollution. My neighborhood also has quite a few trees so they block part of the view. I was bummed. Makes me miss my small town in rural SE KS sometimes.

Caught a few last night with my kiddo (including a few really good ones.) Good daddy/daughter bonding time. (y)

I haven't been that happy about laying in a driveway at 3am since my college days...
