(meteorobs) Arietid Watch

[Paul Jones]

Hey Paul Z, glad you were able to at least get out to look for the Daytime
Arietids.  With Tropical Storm Colin passing over us here in North Florida
and dumping about six inches of rain and a few tornadoes, I had no chance.
Instead of watching meteors - at 3 a.m. EDT this morning, I was out trying
to drain off my overflowing in-ground swimming pool amidst a Colin-induced
torrential downpour...:o).
Conditions are supposed to rapidly improve for us today, however.  I'll
give it a shot in the morning, if at all possible.  Good luck!
