Sorry list but made a mental mis-calculation.  Tough when you go to
bed at 1 in the morning after enjoying wine with friends and then getting
up at 4 to watch a meteor shower.
We didn't see over 100 per hour.  We saw over 1000 per hour! 
As a reality check I asked my wife to guess what the rate was and she said
that it was easily one every few seconds on average.  The longest
we had to wait was ~ 5 to 7 seconds and more often than not much less. 
Many times you could see multiples and often steaks would be still visible
when new ones shot down.
Again, what a night!!!!!

List!
So far the first 1/2 hour has
been AWESOME!  The show stopper for the kids has been a burst that
painted 5 across the sky at the same time!!  Nice weather here in
Elizabeth CO (30 miles south and east of Denver).
