Northern lights a bit of a let down in WA
I was hoping for a serious show. It being one of the largest solar flares on record to hit the earth. I did see some red, but it really just looks like pre-dawn right now :( oh well... anyone farther north getting a better show?

1. Well, I just saw them
here in Tx, and since I have only seen them here once before, I LOVED it! Saw bits of streaks of whitish light in it occasionally with the pretty red. It was worth staying up for, but I'll take the scraps for the light show since I dont know anything else.

6. Pouring rain here...
flood warnings and everything. We'd send it all to the Left Coast if we could. I suspect they'd agree that rain beats smoke.

It MAY clear up later and we MAY see some lights.
