To add further to what Kearn has said, the "100 per hour" refers to a predicted very short spike that some astronomers suspect will happen next year - the last hurrah of this epoch's strong Leonid showers associated with the return of Tempel-Tuttle. Unfortunately, that short spike next year is not predicted to occur at a convenient time for us - Europe and North Africa will be better placed.
