Re: Anyone in the southeast see the meteor tonight? (Thursday, 6th)

Chris, I saw this from Stormcarib--Anguilla There is supposed to me a meteor shower, possibly a meteor storm this evening due to the earth ploughing into three or more streams of dust left by the comet Giacobini-Zinner which swings through the inner solar system every 6.6 years. The moon is quite bright at the moment so look to the north away from the moon, they should appear to stream out of the northern constellation Draco.  Thought the stargazers among you might be interested, I think you will see them better than I can, probably only cloud and rain here. So you MIGHT have something to see tonight.  :)  Let us know?
