Best viewing was about at 5:45am where I am -- the clouds finally thinned (some of the brighter ones had been showing through earlier). By 6am there was too much light from the impending dawn. (ha, it's not every day I get to use "impending dawn" in a sentence)

They really covered a fairly large area of the sky, all the way from near-zenith to near the horizon, and maybe a 20 degree arc horizontally. But there weren't the advertised "hundreds per hour", possibly because of the cloud cover hiding the dimmer ones.

Better than most of the supposed spectacular shows, all of which have been a big zero for a number of years.
