On November 18, 2009 around 4:30 AM Central US time there was supposed to be a spike in the Leonids meteor shower... But it wasn't a shower as in 4-10 or more per minute, it was more on the side of 1-2 per minute.

I took my happy butt outside anxious and anticipating the best meteor shower ever. I laid down on a hammock and faced East (the direction the meteors were coming from) and lit up a cigarette and saw my first one, then another, then one more, then nothing. I smoked my cigarette to almost past halfway and nothing still. Finally my cigarette was done and I caught a glimpse of one.

But hey, 4 isn't bad for 8 or so minutes right? YES IT WAS! All expectations for the US side of the shower was 100 per hour not 30! Eh but oh well.

So what did you get to see? Did you see more than I did?
