(meteorobs) Not much Lyrids activity this morning

[Michael Van]

Hi,
Clear skys over southeast texas for the lyrids but not much activity My 
wife, daughter and I saw about 20 total from midnite till dawn local time 
and maybe 6-8 sporadic in that same time frame.  Pretty disapointing but we 
made the best of it and really enjoyed out time together.
