If you have clear sky--get out there and enjoy. Anytime after dark is good -the best viewing is after midnight. I'm in Dallas area , it's 8:30 and have already seen several in just a few minutes !
 
I've never had good luck viewing meteor showers. I even went to a viewing with the UC Davis astronomy club several years ago, and only saw a couple. I did get to see Saturn's rings through a 10" Dobsonian, and some breathtaking views of the moon, though. Very cool!
 
Yup, spotted a few. Get the Sky map app so you can quickly find the origin, surprisingly helpful when trying to find your deepest shade.
 
I just saw about 10 inside of 15 minutes. Looks as though they are coming in from the south. burning north.
