4. No clouds here, but no meteors either.
I've been watching since 4:30 a.m. (off and on) and nothing! My cats think I've lost my mind -- out on the deck at this hour of the day with the fire pit going. By the way, I'm in the southeast.

5. Relatively clear skies here in NH, but only one meteor in (perhaps) ten minutes. (NT)

6. Orionids
I think tomorrow might be a better night. I saw a couple an hour ago. Sky is perfect for it over the Bluegrass and is supposed to be clear Wed. night.

9. In Seattle, in October?
The force was not with us to part the clouds. A few years ago we got a great view of the Leonids on the ONLY clear night in November, though.
