We did get the lights here and that's where I've been - - getting pics. All I could see was a haziness with some color in the north sky but the camera could "see" them much better. The weatherman had said a camera would work and he was right.
At first, there were multiple colors and by the end of the "show", it was just blood-red.
You didn't have a chance of seeing them as far south as you are. We were lucky to see them here.
