we also got out at midnight to watch the Perseids. We've been doing this for a few years now and never seen such an intense shower. Like you said, we also saw some fat ribbons across the sky. Not a whole lot but very impressive one. We also had a lightning storm on the other side of the valley.
I never considered using normal binos to look for Andromeda. What magnification do you have?
I have a Celestron C71256 10 x 50 and if the night is dark Andromeda is visible like a big smudge in the sky. I like to use the Great Square of Pegasus to find it. In fact Andromeda lies kinda smack in the middle between Perseus and Pegasus
