This must be an error. No reports show anything even remotely close to the
number of ones you recorded. Are you sure you're not confusing data with a
prior shower?

The Geminids put on a very impressive performance over Colorado this
year. Last night my video allsky camera recorded 298 meteors, of which
at least 232 were Geminids. It caught a total of 419 Geminids over the
last four nights. Although the camera is only sensitive to magnitude 1,
it recorded a peak rate of 50 meteors per hour at 4am local this morning
(UT 11:00 14 December). I went out a few times during the night and
always saw many events, typically two or three per minute.

I've posted a composite image and many fireball videos at
