Re: solar storm aura, tonight!
Anybody in the upper northern hemisphere sounds like. I'm sure there's a cam streaming it somewhere as well.

This one is from Alaska, which I'm sure will have some beautiful lights. Another from Alaska. Greenland. It should be quite the show.

Re: solar storm aura, tonight!
I went out to look for it and there was a huge lightning storm in Nebraska blocking the view. That looked cool though, since it was so far away, (~60 miles) huge, and bright.
But then on the road I heard the mad howling of a wild pack of dastardly highwayman kittens which swarmed around me and forcibly stole all my milk.
I'll be going out to look for it a few more times tonight, to see it as conditions change. Hopefully I won't be robbed again by the voracious brutes.

Re: solar storm aura, tonight!
Nor did I. Then again, being in Florida, I am at an instant disadvantage from you Northerners (but I am in Jacksonville, which is only a few dozen miles from the Florida-Georgia border, so in theory I should have seen em)
Maybe the clouds were blocking my view? Eh. Either way, son i am disappoint.
