Gorgeous!

I never know where to go. I'd like to see them someday.

Good luck finding one or more .

Oh, and clouds ...

but when the storm is this powerful, clear skies rule the night

Maine it's been snowing but it looks like it may clear off soon. That looks amazing!

The clouds do have a weird glow to them.

especially with snow on the ground, that's next level viewing

I'm not waiting up, too tired.

It's become windy and the clouds are thinning and there is definitely colored light behind them!

I didn't know we were supposed to be looking tonight here in southern Kentucky.

so, it's likely you can view the Aurora in Southern Kentucky and even further south.

We can't see it with the naked eye.

Sigh... I missed the extremely rare aurora in NYC a year and a half or so ago. I was so upset! Been wanting to see them for decades but have no interest in going to Alaska.

Someone in my sister's area where there is a dark area park wise took a glorious picture. She was too tired to check out her window, although she faces the wrong direction.

I keep an eye out on the aurora forecasts from Alaska University. Check them about a week or two at a time. They give a 27 day forecast which would change if an unexpected solar storm flared up.

Both my parents have seen them decades apart. My dad on a visit to Seattle for business mid '60s. My mom as a kid n NYC sleeping up on the apt building's rooftop with her family on a hot summer's night late 1920's or so.
