Heading North / Meteor Shower

In 12 hours I'll be in Oklahoma. Looking forward to seeing whoever's there, and puttering around, talking, and relaxing.

The Orionid meteor shower peaks this year in the early morning hours of the 22nd. There are three people in our extended family who were born under meteor showers that I know of; I wonder if there's anyone else? This year will be ideal for viewing as there is only a waning crescent moon. Looks like Friday morning might be better viewing, as NW OK is forecast to have extensive cloud cover on Saturday.
