I kept my eyes open on the way north through Nashua, NH a short time ago but didn’t see anything.

It gets dark late there too, huh?

Here it gets dark around 9:30pm but in the winter it starts getting ark at 3:30pm.

Days are starting to get shorter now though.

I used to date Aurora Schmeltzer back in the ‘60s (the decade not her age!)

I sat on my honches for ten minutes while fixing my TV. When I stood up I definitely saw auras.

DH said a little while ago that the Weather Channel (weather.com) had/ has a time lapse of the auroras on their website.

It would take a much bigger CME (or maybe some kind of variables that I’m unaware of) for me to see them since I’m in S Texas. Around Houston did get some good red skies back in 2003.

If you’re in northern Cali, I’d be outside (especially if higher elevation anyway). Spaceweather is showing the Bz is south, so it’s possible.
The admin at spacew.com has issued a warning for the middle latitudes & their little “lights” are showing strong for higher lats & possible for middle.

Good luck & Clear skies!

And now for a little Pogo:

"Roar a roar for Nora,

Nora Ellis in the night,

For she has seen Aurora

Borealis burning bright."

Sorry, I couldn't help myself...

I’m in Edmonton, Alberta.

I’m at a high enough altitude that I can definitely see them, if their out. But it’s cloudy tonight.

32.8N something. I don't know my exact ballistic address. Nope. I just went out to talk to a man about a horse, and made sure to look north. No lights in the sky in this part of N. Texas.

I idn’t see any auroras here. I’m just south of Tacoma an there’s too much skyglow from the Seattle-Tacoma area.

HOWEVER...within 10 seconds of looking skyward, I DID see a shooting star! Good enough for me.

I should be able to see them here in WV, but there is some kind of curse that every time a celestial event occurs, it clouds over.

Of course we do rival the Pacific NW as the cloudiest area in the US. I love it here, but it’s not the best place to be an amateur astronomer.
