    I saw a couple around 10 pm. Had alarm set for 2am, couldn’t make myself go out side. Looked out window for a bit, didn’t see any.
    Can look again tonight.

    I missed this for last night, but I’ll keep an eye out tonight. Best bet for viewing is find the darkest place you can and let your eyes adjust to the dark for at least 10 minutes but your eyes can take up to 20-30 minutes to fully adjust. You should be able to see one every few minutes.

    There was a huge Perseids shower about 12 years ago. I stopped counting at 115 and was watching well under an hour. Was quit the show.
