Perseids Meteor Shower Tonight - Sky is clear, but can we see it in Anchorage?

[Nov. 17 Update: Go to new post   for information on tonight's Leonids and meteor watching in general.  This original post was for August's meteor shower.]

NASA's website has a long description of how and when to see the Perseids meteor shower tonight.

For sky watchers in North America, the watch begins after nightfall on August 11th and continues until sunrise on the 12th. Veteran observers suggest the following strategy: Unfold a blanket on a flat patch of ground. (Note: The middle of your street is not a good choice.) Lie down and look up. Perseids can appear in any part of the sky, their tails all pointing back to the shower's radiant in the constellation Perseus. Get away from city lights if you can.

But it isn't clear how well, if at all, we can see them here in Anchorage. But the sky is clear. So after midnight would probably be a good time to look.

Update: 12:30am - We've seen about five or six meteors - a few that were really bright, most pretty faint. Looking pretty much straight up.
12:45 - J and M are lying out on the deck and seeing more. I just saw another big one out there too. And they saw a bat.
