Anybody see the Geminid meteor shower last night?

I woke up about 2:30 and went out to watch for awhile from my courtyard. The moon was pretty high in the sky and there was the start of a thin layer of clouds. I saw one really bright streak and several faint ones before I got cold and came in to go back to bed. Flannel sheets never felt so good!

Even though it was still dark at 6 when I got up, it had totally clouded over.

As usual for this time of year. I don't think I've ever seen it here.
