This event is in Virgo rising low in the East. Alt=22, Az=115. This should be visible from my driveway. Kirk is on the southern limit, I'm inside, and Karl is too far north of the northern limit to have any nominal chance. The rank is high, the RUWE is good. The event is long, at 1.5s and should be a good event to detect assuming clouds behave.
