Here's you a picture:

There's some time lag due to this being thirty one-minute exposures but I don't think there is any noticeable directional distortion caused by that.

Think of what it looks like to be driving into a snow storm and the snow is coming at you; if you are going fast enough that your motion is the main component, the snow will appear to be radiating from a point somewhere in front of you. How far off directly in front of you will depend on the speed and direction of the snowfall. This is pretty much the same thing as what is happening in the meteor shower.

What? You don't drive in the snow in Virginia? Well, you oughta try it sometime. It's fun.
