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 don’t know. You are pretty far south, but with it being so flat and dark, you might. We don’t always even see them when they are supposed to be almost right overhead.

We’re pretty far out in the country ourselves, enough so that city lights are not much of a problem, but we do have trees in the way. And it’s so stinkin’ cold out besides.

FWIW, for some reason March and September are supposed to be the prime aurora viewing months.
