Yep, I got up at 5:30 am and stayed out til 6:30. From the shelter of my front deck (it was frikken' cold) I could see the south 60% of the sky. I faced east. The radiant seemed to be just below Arcturus. I counted an average of perhaps 3/minute with a brief peak around 6 am of 4-5/minute. They were short and fast, not one lasting more than a second and most less than half a second. There were 3 that went pretty bright, beating Arcturus in magnitude, but most were faint. It was worth getting up, as I had never caught the Quads before. It really was, as advertised, a very short peak. Sky was clear, and cold.
