I see that there is a prediction for 60 per hour, if we hit the main 'clump' of debris. That's about the same as the August Perseids used to do a few years ago. Thanks for the info, I'll take a look later on to see if it's cleared up.

Never miss an opportunity to walk on the grass.

Our weather generally becomes overcast as soon as something like this is coming. Very discouraging! But amazing when you get the chance to see it. I remember it as a kid.
