Nice. There is definitely a huge influx of solar particles right now on Earth. They're showing on the maps there are likely auroras as far south as Nebraska right now! https://www.solarham.com/oval.htm

I heard reports that it was seen in Florida and southern Louisiana.

I heard some people reporting north florida as well, but only visible on camera and not with the naked eye. I guess tonight we'll have another round of it, it looks like.

I didn't see any last night but I went to bed fairly early. Maybe could have picked it up on a long exposure photo.
