From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Media Relations Department:

"Although a typical meteor is smaller than a grain of sand, it travels 12 miles (20 kilometers) per second. Leonids are the fastest of all meteors – traveling at about 44 miles (71 kilometers) per second."

"At that speed, a Leonids meteor could travel from New York to Los Angeles in about one minute."
