I think it's near impossible, the only time that occurred
was when I saw the June Bootids in 1998 and coming at home 
in the morning (TMEC) I alerted American observers: I choised
to alert Californians because I thought that in the East 
Coast of USA was not possible go in time out of the cities
and observe. But the June Bootids are an exception because
their maximum was over a days, in general a maximum its
not more one hour.
Best greetings.
