Yeah i need to figure that out too. Nothing cool ever happens where you can see it over lower michigan.
Edit: If i figured this correctly it should be impacting at about 2 am EST. I still dont know where though.
Edit again: Ok its going to be near Spica which is the bright star in Virgo so find that star and you should be good to go... providing it hits lol.
