I saw it early this morning. We like to view the Perseids from Vasquez Rocks off the 14 about halfway between the 5 and Palmdale. The moon interferes this year. This is from the Griffith Observatory Sky report:
Perseid Meteor shower is in progress this week and was due to reach its peak between midnight and dawn (4:45 a.m. in Southern California) on the morning of Wednesday, August 12. Light pollution in populated areas only allows the brightest Perseids to be seen, so the greatest numbers are observed from wilderness areas. In southern California, this means mountain and desert camps and parks. This year, the waning gibbous moon lights the eastern sky close to the shower
