All of the answers and the blog describe the best time for everyone to view. The shower peaked August 12th 17:44 UT which was 12:44 this afternoon for resident near Chicago, IL. Just because the peak has passed doesn't mean they are not visible, the shower should remain strong until dawn on Thursday for people in the United States. Keep your head up. - Meteor Mark Joshua,

The comments and links in the post apply to people in the Eastern Time Zone. There are never any real guarantees of when the best time to look is. One can only observe and hope for the best.

For me it was cloudy here. I think most of that was due to the moon being so bright. Try having a look tonight around 9 PM EST and there may be some trickling in tomorrow morning too. One never knows when it comes to meteors. As you know keep your head up! - Meteor Mark P.S. Congratulations to you on your new additions to the family. Meteor Mom,

It wasn't enough to wake the kids over. I was thinking about trying again after midnight tonight.... How busy do you think it will be? Hey,
I went out a few times this morning but it was so over cast that I only saw about 6 total. It wasn’t enough to wake the kids over.

I was thinking about trying again after midnight tonight…. How busy do you think it will be?
