Nice meteor shower going on.
 
Counted about 30 in 10 minutes, but it peaks 1-3 AM east coast....Some are really big.

With strained neck, constantly panning the sky with my eye to the camera, just to catch a brief half second streak, I tried to take a picture for you. Now hold your breath why you wait for me to post them.....:O:

Seriously, my wife and I laid flat in a heated sleeping bag on the 5th tee to watch them... it was quite a show at 3AM.

There was supposed to be or possibly another shower from a different comet, started with a W, but we didn't wait until almost dawn to see if it happened. Don't think that's ever happened before. I swear I believe this fits with 12/21, so I've decided to wrap myself in two layers of tin foil.

Wednesday i left New Jersey at 5:20am... i drove it straight through and got home at 3:20am, the last few hours of the drive i thought i was hallucinating as suddenly little streaks of light would race across the sky and by the time i looked up to really focus on them they were gone.

i thought i was just really tired. but sure enough i was seeing the shower.

And what do you plan to do with that?

Here Triffids get your hot free shower to wash away the blood and guts of your last victim you had for lunch. :har:
