Another chance to see meteors

Tomorrow morning, Earth will be traveling through the trail of dust left by Comet Kiess and we might see a display of meteor showers. Or maybe not - the moon is still very fullish and clouds are expected - and being a city Portland has a lot of lights at night...

But very few have seen these meteors and they are not expected again in our lifetime...so I'll get up and watch around peak time which is 4:30AM PDT. Supposedly the West Coast has great chance of seeing this display.
