I saw it here in Portland at about 12:30. i thought it would be cloudy, but when I went outside to check it was mostly clear.

how would you rate it? Bright or prety dim as expected? how often?

I think that by the time I saw it at around 12:30 it was pretty much over. I only saw a few "showers" but it was still pretty cool to see. The few i saw were fairly bright given the amount of light pollution around. It probably was better earlier, i wish i had gone out to check, but the weather at 11 said it was cloudy and that you probably wouldnt be able to see anything untill 2am:smash: :uzi:
