My quick report: 100 Orionids and 41 other meteors in about 1.75 hours of 
observing (1108-1257 UT) from southern Oregon this morning. Orionids seemed 
bright but not extraordinarily so; 5 in negative magnitudes with the 
brightest at -4. Quite a few impressive bursts of meteors, with a lot of 
apparent clumping happening among the sporadics as well.

I saw about 6 meteors that appeared to be from a radiant around RA=142, 
Dec=30 (Dec more uncertain because almost all were going N-S). They seemed 
too far west to be Leo Minorids, but there was definitely something going on 
in that region of the sky.

Full report when I get some time...
