I had taken note of your original message, mentioned it during my   
Perseids talk during a recent RASC meeting, and alerted my local   
astronomy clubs of the possible outburst.

It really made for an  impressive night!!!  Even some of my non-meteor  
observers friends  were impressed at the rates around 6h UT on August  
13.

I was quietly thinking . . . again, based on Jeremie's graphic . . .  that 
an impressive,
albeit short-lived . . . Perseid display would await us late on the  night 
of August 12-13.
 
Of course, it was hopelessly cloudy locally for me, but at least  
observations seem to
verify that we did indeed get a nice outburst.  I can only hope for 
clear skies in the after-midnight hours of November 17 for the  Leonids.
