Relatively clear, certainly better than even a small city for viewing. Average of a little over 1 per minute a 10:50-11:20. Twice there were two at the same time. 1 left a really good trail.
Too bad in in a busy metropolis, the light pollution blocks out pretty much everything.
During college, my fraternity would plan a retreat to upstate Vermont every year at this time and so I got a good view of the meteor showers those years. It was pretty amazing seeing the actual backdrop of the Milky Way with a good number of shooting stars flashing past.
I remember the first time I watched these as a kid, on the deck of my clubhouse with my mom. I was so excited to be up at like 1 in the morning, and to get to watch something so cool...I had never really seen a shooting star before, so to see a bunch of them was 'dope'.
They were decently plentiful for the past few days before today's peak so there will probably be a show of sorts tonight. Of course on the open sea the visibility (weather permitting) is outstanding.
