rideit, you at home or traveling up north? Amazing if you're at 43 point something latitude.

Drove about 20 miles out of town and got a pretty good show, then we got home and found we could see it from the backyard

Imagine how intense this must have been before science could explain it?

I’m visiting family in North Carolina and could see it at 36 N. Faint purple.

8:00 AM baseball games should be illegal, but a fresh field sure is beautiful.

I was thinking the same thing. The Scandis meet have some killer myths to explain what's going on

I do not miss all of the time wasted on a beautiful Saturday morning in the spring attending little league for three kids who were just as glad to be done with it as we were.

Drink the reindeer piss during a show!

Alaskan natives have some good ones, mostly about spirits or souls chasing, searching, or playing.

Wow, that's well south of NOAAs predicted arc. This was one time I'm glad they missed the mark.

Same. At our lat/long we were supposed to be just slightly too south to look straight up, but likely to see it looking north. So we drove out to a point where there's an unobstructed view up Georgia Strait. Nothin' So we drove to flat, treeless spot in the county (farmland) where you could clearly see the North Shore Mountains. Again nothing. Drove home, took the dog for a walk, et voile!

Yeah, definite overdelivery, it was awesome! Spokane is south of Bellingham and we saw it filling the whole sky. My first time spotting the aurora, and it may have spoiled me for the aurora trip to Iceland that we've been talking about for 10+ years.

38 N, California. Red here with occasional white streaks. Reached third to halfway up the sky. Went out with low expectations (been skunked every time prior), then was surprised to see red sky after a few minutes. According to NOAA there was a similar peak 2am to 5am. This is bay area, so nowhere is truly dark.

The forecast products are tough to read at first. Here's what I think 2 of them mean. Seems like the Kp index (or G rating) correlates to expected aurora strength. Actual strength last night was 2 higher than forecast.

I'ma say that's Pilot peak, outside of Jellystone's NE gate. Maybe 25 miles past Cooke?
