Update on Epsilon Perseids - Meteor Outburst Over Europe?

Yesterday I reported on an outburst of bright fireballs over the southern US.  These fireballs are believed to be an outburst of Epsilon Perseids meteors.  

Today European skywatchers are reporting a similar outburst at a rate of almost 50 per hour.  NASA's All-sky Fireball Network will continue to monitor the skies for a repeat of last nights performance (although probably at a much reduced rate than in Europe).

The following story appeared on Space Weather: Meteor Outburst over Europe?
