Well, we didn't see any aurora, but the meteor shower was fantastic! We saw about a dozen, in just a few minutes! Sat out in the back yard with blankets.

The first one we saw (the first one for my son, ever) was very impressive! Stretched clear across the sky!

Thanks for the tip, Vinnie!

Glad you were able to see them.
My son saw 23 in an hour in Pitt. Caught one on camera.
Here, the sky clouded up around sunset and stayed that way through 1am, at which time I went to bed.
Watched the aurora index at a website and didn't see the index go up through 1 am. It might have later.

Maybe tonight.
If I see anything happening I'll send you a PM.

I saw 2 at work. I went upstairs to the roof at work, which is a test site, about 5:15 AM. Little quick ones. High atmosphere here in L.A. A few years ago, when it was very cold and hazy, I say a very bright one light everything up. That was a big one.

It was like an Angel fly-by to tell me to finish the coffee, put out the ciggie, and do what I am there to do.
