You look South SouthWest. The main point of radius will be between Mars and Orions Belt. If you go out from 3am to 6am on Sunday morning you will see 25-50 an hour. Also, it is not just this Sunday. Orionids is from the beginning of October to the middle of November. The peak is this Sunday from 1am to 6am with the best time around 5-6am. So, you can actually go outside any night until the middle of Novemeber and see a good amount every hour. It might just be 5-10 an hour though. Well, good luck and get far away from the city maybe 20 miles out if at all possible. You will be surprised at how much of a diffrence it will make.

Hi. Your first answers are correct but here is a bit more info. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Orionids&gwp=13 Best tip is to get warm and comfy on a blanket and relax. It's not a contest.
