I agree that the North American peak occured at around 10:42-45. I had my strongest rates at this time, equal to if not slightly surpassing last year's best "minute."

I also completely agree that this was not a bright display though I did have a few nice fireballs including one -7 that had a 40 second train. The hours leading up to the peak were quite slow, but the bursts during the peak were great...sometimes six and seven meteors in less than 5 seconds!!! I really need to thaw my toes and get some sleep, I'll try to get out my report later today.
