..... Perseid's ...... a cloud of debris left by a comet that we go through every year, if I'm not mistaken....
 Quoting: AxE-i-DeNt

Yep - the periodic comet P109 'Swift-Tuttle'

These 'Perseids Nights' have been a regular annual thing for as long as I've been involved with organised astronomy groups (30+ yrs)

Any danger from this 'shower' is remote in the extreme.
There's always the chance that a big one might reach the ground, but the chances are astronomical...

And yes, that pun WAS intended :)
