Geminids!

Clouds dominated in southwest South Dakota but last night at around 11pm mountain time there was a break in the clouds which exposed Orion. I saw three very nice meteor streaks during the 10 or so minutes I was able to view. With good skies it must have been a nice show.
Anyone else?

I was outside from about 9 to 10pm last night, about 20 miles north of Boulder CO, and saw 7. There was about 30% cloud cover when I started, and it was closer to 80% when I left. One might not have been a Geminid, due to the direction it was traveling (sw to se). Only one, overhead, was fairly bright and long. The others were short streaks.
