Two low flying apaches just past me going to Belle Chase. That's was cool!

Heck, if I start seeing any on the NASA Ustream site I MIGHT go outside again and check. But so far nothing even on there that I could see. And the commentary is horrendous.

I got eaten by mosquitoes and trolled by lightning bugs. Think my viewing is over.

Earlier I saw two in 5 minutes.

Just stepped out side for 10 minutes and saw six.

To bright screamers and 3 little ones.

I saw nothing in 20 minutes, and there's not a cloud in the sky.

You should start to see them soon.

Just gotta be patient. 5 minutes you should see 2-4 right now.

The "apparent" source (nearest constellation) is Perseus. And it is still too low on the horizon for great viewing... At least at my home in S La. May be a few more hours to let it move higher in the sky.

the NASA stream is more entertaining than the shower itself

I'm up in NWA but I live in an old community with no light pollution. It makes for perfect viewing.
