That's not how meteor showers work. They don't "hit" specific places; they're visible pretty much everywhere the sky is dark. Tonight (August 13, 2011) is near the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.

When will be the next meteor shower in 2014?

Small meteors hit the Earth every minute of each day. Larger meteors, big enough to be visible, hit the Earth several times each hour. In a "meteor shower", you may see over a hundred meteors an hour. Big meteors, big enough to hit the Earth, happen a few times every day. There are dozens of meteorite museums all over the country. Really big meteors, enough to cause a lot of damage, are fairly rare, fortunately. The last REALLY big meteor landed in Siberia, 100 years ago; it caused as much damage as an atomic bomb! Fortunately, very few people lived in Siberia back then.
