 From the Hot News page -
<B>2001 LEONIDS - </B><br>
  The 2001 Leonids have apparently produced a very good shower, with the 
rate approaching predictions (near storm level) during some brief 
spikes.  The general peak  apparently was <U>much</U> broader than 
expected, for 144 MHz was alive with signals for many hours.<br>
First reports from Europe indicate a good peak several hours before the 
North American peak time.  No specific North American reports have been 
seen yet, as the shower appears to be continuing, even as the radiant is 
setting here (around 1725 Z, signals were continuous from the southwest for 
over 5 minutes).   This is only a very preliminary report.  Updates will be 
posted on the MS Hot News page as more information is received. </P>
