Aurora borealis last night

Seen from my neighborhood. Not my photo, but taken by a neighbor.
I usually go look outside before going to bed--to see if there's a pretty moon--but didn't last night. Kicking myself for not going out!
This was Durham, NC.

Beautiful. Even if it came down to NE Fla, wouldn't be visible last night because of cloud cover. Fla Dem Oct 11 #2

Don't think it has been visible this far south.

we had clouds here.

Funny, for the several years that I lived in Alaska, I was only able to catch them up there once. They are spectacular.
