>“With the normal rate for fireballs, someone would have to sit outside for 20 hours straight to see one,” said Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the American Meteor Society. “With the Taurids, (that time) can be reduced quite a bit, maybe down to five hours. And if you’re really lucky, you could just step outside and within a few minutes see one. When they appear is totally unpredictable.”
Saturday night will be the peak. Might be a good time to set up a camera but I wouldn't stare at the sky for 5 hours.

Yeah, the Geminids is usually the better show.

Saturday night or Saturday morning? The article says the peak is on Saturday and the best time on any given day is 2am. This would indicate the peak would be Saturday at 2am?
