(meteorobs) Perseids from Central FL, USA

[GLDSKTR at aol.com]

I hope everyone had clear skies!
 
I got outside around 2:30am, under crystal clear Central Florida,  USA skies. 
I saw 3 right off the bat, 2 small, dim, fast ones, and one  fireball. I 
figured it would be a good night!
 
The rest of the night seemed to have "clumps." You'd see a bunch, then  about 
5-10 minutes of nothing, then a bunch again. Very spotty action, but I did  
notice the increase in fireballs as the night went on. Bright, long trains! A  
few nice Kappa Cygnids filled in the blank spots. By 5am, high, thin clouds  
moved in, and I packed it in.
 
Definitely not the best Perseid shower I've ever seen, but was very  
consistent with the last few years as far as "bunching" activity. Although,  any night 
under meteors is never bad!
