Just a reminder. Timings are for Kaloli Pt. You can use http://www.heavens-above.com/ if you want to check details for your own location. (The flare is now predicted to be magnitude -7.5 for Kaloli Pt., so slightly brighter than the previous prediction):
......
Monday 22nd August at 19:30:49;
Location: elevation 60 degrees above the horizon, azimuth 135 degrees (SE). For anyone who saw the ISS tonight, the flare will happen very close to where the ISS disappeared in the Earth's shadow;
Magnitude: -7.4 which is extremely bright. It will only last for a few seconds though;
The center of the flare path is slightly east of Kaloli Point and heads south almost directly over Pahoa.
