I just saw it on the news( Its a Toronto Station) but if you look in the area of Casseopiea tonight beween the hours of 12 AM and 4 AM you may see as much as 1 meteor each minute.

The big "W" above the northeast horizon, nicely visible starting from 9pm local time on northern hemisphere. The perseus is just beneath it and will go up sometime 11pm. The 3 to 4am time is the best as the radiant (perseus) is above you and the shower covers the biggest part of visible sky - meaning more meteors to see.

But still, don't sweat people. The perseids will last for a few more days (as they were here for a few days before the culmination tonight), albeit in a reduced per-hour frequency.
