It might be back tomorrow if you missed it tonight!

    I hope it is back tomorrow night. I was tending to a screaming toddler the whole time so I missed it.

      I believe it should be. I’m 8 timezones away but our news said yesterday:

      expected to arrive as early as today and to persist through until Sunday.

        Crossing my fingers. Saw someone post a pic an hour ago from Eastern Oregon. So far I have not seen anything tonight and the probability is shrinking.

    Couldn’t see shit from my place. Was I looking in the wrong direction? At the wrong time? Or is there just too much light pollution on my street?

      Probably too much light pollution. Unless you’re far away from any light it’s difficult to see with the naked eye. Try taking a picture with a long exposure (just a couple seconds should do it). You’ll want to be looking North and they can change in intensity through the night but I was able to get some good photos around 11:30.

      It came and went where I was. It was difficult to see with street lights so we went to a nearby football pitch which was dark and could see it then.

      Phones definitely making it look better than the eye sees it.

      Edit: look North

      I’m not sure, there was a ton of light pollution where I was at. It was all over the sky in every direction and moved around.

          After it started getting dark. It was very vivid around 10:30ish to 11:30 or so. I went to sleep after that though, so it might’ve gotten brighter. I was checking periodically earlier but wasn’t seeing anything til it suddenly became visible.

    Amazing. I’m down in Portland and a buddy reported seeing it here as well. Gonna try tonight.

    There’s quite a crowd of eager aurora watchers at Carkeek Beach at 10:30, but no light show yet.
