(meteorobs) Orionids from southern Maryland: Oct 21 and 22 UT



Hi Everyone,
   The Orionids seemed faint and few this year.  In particular, I was 
astonished to have a one hour void of them on Oct 22 UT!  It looks like 
clouds are closing in on Maryland, so these two observations may be all 
there will be for Orionids seen by me this year.
