Mark, 
 
Using the geographical center of California the radiant would rise at 11:10pm. At 8:45pm the radiant is located 20 degrees below the horizon. This is much too far below the horizon to produce any activity. If you wish to see Leonid earthgrazers start watching at 10:30pm. For the next hour any Leonid seen should be long and long-lasting. 
 
Good Luck! 
 
Bob Lunsford
