What is the best strategy when encountering high-altitude clouds during a meteor shower?

Stay put, as bright fireballs might still be visible.

While thick, overcast layers will completely block the view of a meteor shower, high-altitude or thin clouds do not necessarily ruin the entire experience. These conditions can sometimes still permit the observation of bright fireballs. Fireballs are caused by larger pieces of debris that generate significantly more light than standard meteors, enough to potentially shine through thinner cloud layers. Weather conditions can also change rapidly, so maintaining one's position rather than leaving early can yield rewarding results if the clouds break or if an exceptionally bright meteor streaks by.
