I waited until after midnight and drove out to Erwin park, about 6 miles north of our house, looking for a dark spot. When I got there, the cloud layer had moved in and there were no stars.
When I got home, the clouds had broken up some, so I stayed up and went outside around 3:45. This time I just laid down on the driveway and waited.
Hooray: in the next 45 minutes, I saw four very nice meteors, two of which actually left a brief trail, plus two more which were short and faint enough that they barely registered.
Hardly a shower. I don't know if I will try again tonight - there is just too much light around here, and one would have to drive a long way to find real darkness - Wyoming, for example.
Anyway, this could have been photo of a meteor, if my reflexes were better:

That's pretty cool! That's 4 more meteors than anyone else around you saw!
If I squint I think I can see one in your photo.
