Chilled for about an hour and a half, didn’t see any huge event, probably about 15-20 shooting stars overall. A few of them were fucking huge! Overall, overrated. Hopefully someone got a good video of the whole thing and we can all check it out in the morning :tup: ---

Got out of work right at 3am, went home and watched a little from my back deck. That reminds me that I could use a hot tub… Seemed like very bright stars, colored more blue than usual, some were shooting… A little too cloudy here to fully enjoy… ---

I woke up at 5:00, I think it was too late. Where were they east, west, north, south? Channel 4 said there would be more tonight, I think at midnight.(?) ---

A few websites said south east. A think I might have seen one small one. Midnight would be a lot better. Shit, I can’t believe I got up at 4. ---

After reading the original article I thought they wouldn’t be around until 4:00am so I layed wide awake not even thinking to look before 4. I fell asleep at 3:30 and woke up again at 5:00 and missed it! 🖕 I am sure I will be awake tonight as usual. I hope I get to see at least one. lol ---

I woke up at about 2:45 for a look. Got outside and tried to decide if it was worth going to a hilltop to look, but it was way too cloudy. ---

Me and the girl went to Spaulding Lake and layed out in a field from 4am-4:45am and literally saw maybe five meteors each. They weren’t even good ones. Thank god for delicious timmy ho’s apple cider otherwise it’d be a total waste. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2009-leonid-meteor-shower/76180.md?page=1)
