Iridium Flare Disappointment

Heavens-above predicted a -8 mag iridium flare visible from my place this am. Waited for it with high hopes but it was very dim not even as bright as Sirius.I must say the time and location was accurately predicted though.
Any similar experience from this forum's members? Was it common for brightness turned out significantly different?
