Well, from here in Northern California I saw roughly 50 Leonids in about one hour. We had patchy thick fog, with variable transparency. Sometimes I could see 4th mag stars, sometimes just barely Jupiter. Despite that, we saw many very bright meteors, some easily brighter than Venus ever gets. Had the skies been dark I am sure I would have seen hundreds per hour.
I saw one Taurid too. It was moving at a 90 degree angle from the Leonids, which is about what you'd expect. The last time I stayed up for the Leonids (1999) I saw about 20 from each shower, which was pretty cool.
All in all, a success, especially since my daughter had a great time, and it's a good deal warmer here than the last time in Maryland (when it was well below freezing).
