Well, our club went to the mountain for the crash and I must say it was a bit disappointing. We did seem to see a slight increase in brightness for a very short time, but certainly nothing extraordinary. I think they had a bit of imagination with their predictions.
Did anyone else see anything?

I'm surprised you couldn't see more Floyd.
That's based on the Hubble before and after photos I saw.

There was one good report from Pheonix too, in the After Dark forum.
At least you went out. That's more than I can say.
