I live in Illinois, when should the meteor shower start?!

Question

Im freaking out, somebody help!!! lol

Answer 1

It started several weeks ago, and the maximum intensity is around August 12. You have to look for it any clear morning between 2 a.m. and sunrise, regardless of where you are.  

Answer 2

I live in illinois as well generally you will be able to start seeing them around midnight towards the eastern sky as the night goes on they will move more overhead with the peak night being august the 12 with a predicted 30 meteors per hour that doesnt mean you will see one every two minutes. You may see a cluster of 4-5 then have to wait another 15mins.Good Luck on viewing them it is a wonderful sight.

Answer 3

The meteor shower goes on all the time for about a month.  Peaks around Mid August.
