The constellation Gemini, just north of Orion, should appear to be the source.

That is awesome timing. I’m going to be on a boat in the Pacific Ocean right then. I could not get farther away from light sources if I tried.

What is meant when 3200 Phaethon is called the Parent body of the Geminid meteor showers?
If it's trips to the Sun is cracking the surface, is it expected to break about on one of its orbits?

For as far back as I can remember I got sucked into this massive meteor BS. I live in an rural area with zero light pollution. I have yet to see one stinking meteor.

A few days ago there was talk of the Andromedids being spectacular this year. Did that happen? It was cloudy here so I didn’t have a chance to watch for them.

It’s those asteroids you got to watch out for. Painful sumbitches.

That’s too bad. I live in the city, and yet I often see satellites and meteors. It’s a matter of luck and patience.
A pretty good site to check for where to look for anything skyward:
