What was the name of this Meteor Shower? ?

Question

About 7-9 years ago or something there was this huge meteor shower. I was living in Frazier Park, CA at the time and I remember this happening when I was about 4 or 5. Does anyone know what I'm talking about. I think it was supposed to happen about once every century. I'm not sure. If you think you know what it was, when will it happen again?! That was so awesome!

Answer 1

Maybe the "Great Leonid Meteor Storm of 1998?"

Answer 2

All meteor showers happen at approximately the same time every year, however, some years certain ones are better than in years past.  The Leonids tend to have great numbers every 33 years.  The earth's orbit let's us pass through the "comet dust" left behind by comets.  

I'm not sure what the best one was 7-9 years ago, but if you have the month that it happened, that would narrow it down immensely.

The most popular are usually the Perseids, Orionids, Leonids, and Geminids.
