Well, I was out for some portion of the time between 11:00 and 12:30 last night, and saw 22 meteors from my front yard ... so I think that means I was seeing close to 20/hour.   Most of them were just fast, quick burnouts.   But I saw 4 that were brighter and spanned a bit of the sky (about the distance between Betelgeuse and Rigel).   Considering how many trees I have in my yard, I bet you could have seen more than that in a clear field.
