Jeff  Brower writes,
"We have been plagued with three nights of thunderstorms in all quadrants. Despite heavy lightening, high anvil tops overcast, and 100's of false captures from the strikes I was able to catch 25 meteors on the WSentinel system between local midnight and sunrise on Aug 11/12. Here is a composite showing the radiant rather well for the period.

Currently we have towering Cu in a all three of the four quadrants but I am hopeful we'll have clear sky for tonights PER peak. "

Good luck to all.

Jeff
