Actually it has already started according to NASA from http://spaceweather.co​m/ (external link) . Also a notice to public cause a rumor is already spreading on the internet that this will be the greatest which is false according to snopes . But reguardless if your in a good dark place you should still see a lot of good meteorites and a good photo opt for anyone interested . BTW the shower peaks the 11th , 12th and 13th . If you have clear skies now they usually spot several a week before the actual shower .
