2. Where are you latitude-wise?

Hell, wonder if there'd be auroras as far south as the central plains states? I think it is possible, though not likely.

On edit: Added "you" to subject line.

3. 51 degrees N, Calgary, Alberta
They aren't expecting displays for another day of two. We get some pretty good ones here, one about a year ago filled the sky with a sort of slowly turning wheel pattern.

4. You're supposed to see them in Oregon and across the top of the lower
48. I hope you do.

I remember one REALLY cold night seeing a curtain of them
with a gold hem, if you know what I mean.

Gorgeous.

Out at my sister's place, on a REALLY cold night, I heard
them. Has anyone else heard them? There's this really
weird low groan. Other people up here have heard them so I
don't think I'm crazy. :)

5. Sorry, never heard them
Don't see how they could make noise. Maybe it was Taco Bell calling.

You're in Oregon? We had a splendid vacation down there last summer, despite the heat!
