I know Darmok has a thread somewhere on astronomy, but I can't find it.

A rare meteor shower with a burst of up to 400 meteors in an hour, is forecast for tonight.

Looking cloudy in much of eastern US. :(

Target time is 11:45pm US Eastern (0445 GMT). Here's one livestream, which may be washed out:

Well that was definitely worth watching. Found a live feed from the Canary Islands — must have been about 100 in a half hour. Quite nice. 8)
