I spent about an hour looking at the meteor shower this morning, between 4-5 am PDT. 
I'm not a scientist, just an interested person.
Here is my "report"
 
location:
Suburban Sylmar, California
 
Time:
4:00 am to 5:00 am
 
Meteors:
25
 
Peak seemed to be between 4:10 and 4:20 am, there were 10 durning that period.
 
Location of meteors
 
4-4:10  area between Cassiopea and Orion  in varying directions
 
4:10 -4:20  wide range of the sky in various directions  mostly from the North to east and south, a few to the west
 
4:20 to 4:30 lower on the eastern horizon
 
4:30 to 4:40 lower on the NNE horizon
 
4:50 -5:00 very low on the NNE horizon (in the sme area as the Hale-Bopp comet several years ago)
 
As a bonus I did see the ISS briefly
 
Most of the meteors were very prominent, had a moderate length and colorful trails
 
4 were very fain and to the north.
 
I'm not sure if any of this is useful information, but I was very pleased to see this meteor shower.
