Any chance down here in central Texas? We’re out in the country so there aint no city lights.

I was fortunate enough to see the aurora borealis once while driving thru North Dakota back in the ‘80s. It was the bees knees.

I’m in southern Wisconsin. A few years ago we had a chance to see the Aurora Borealis. It was absolutely fascinating.

We bought this video many years ago for when we homeschooled. It’s very good.

I usually just watch the estimated Kp, and when it starts to rise, start looking north.
