What kind of area are you in/how far from light sources. I'm in Urbandale and haven't seen anything yet.

They need to have these things during the day so I can get my beauty sleep.

[ISUAgronomist]

I'm not going to get up early to watch at peak time.

Unless it's a double meteor shower .

[NobodyBeatsCy]

I am always disappointed by these showers. I need my sleep more

[CyForPresident]

Pretty cool outside. Perfect drinking conditions.

Just went outside and stood in the middle of my yard for 5 minutes with my head cranked up to the sky, I saw 1 meteor and wished for a championship at ISU. It better come true.
