A few years ago, there was a strong enough storm to let us see the lights in southern TN. They weren’t all that impressive but they WERE auroras and had me standing outside in frigid weather for over an hour to watch. There isn’t much that will keep me outside when it’s cold. LOL
The only reason I was outside was that I was a Sophomore in College and I wasn’t allowed a car on campus yet.
I had to walk everywhere.
(I got that remedied with an old Cadillac Sedan a short time later.)
I’ve seen them a couple times when I lived in Michigan. Our son works on a solar project at NASA and gave us a heads up a couple weeks ago. They thought it might be slightly visible in lower states.
We drove an hour or so up into Amish country in PA but didn’t see anything.
