  I though people would like to know that Peter Brown wrote:

"Several modellers are also predicting an outburst from debris related  
to comet 209P/LINEAR on 2014 May 24 between 7h and 8h UT, from a  
radiant in Camelopardalis. The timing favours North American  
longitudes and the Moon will be just a few days from new. The stream  
dynamics strongly suggest that the Earth will encounter much material  
from the comet?it is highly likely this will be the strongest meteor  
display of 2014 visible from North America."

cheers,

Dave
