Just was outside, can't see any yet. Too much light pollution here. Going to take another look before bed.
 
I saw one of the longest/biggest shooting stars of my life 2 nights ago. The burnout time took about 1.5 seconds..the trail remained visible for about 2 minutes. Would kinda be scary if it hit the ISS, no?

Saw 3 shooting stars on a trip back from Duluth around midnight on August 8th - same event ?
 
Most likely. The shower last over a month I believe, the weekend of the 10th was the peak.
