G5 and KP9 reached. They are getting an amazing show in Europe right now. Hope these levels can hold for 4 more hours.

We might even be able to see them on the horizon way down here, if it clears. Crazy
Hope it's fabulous there!

You should, already reports of visibility from Ohio. Some predictions are even saying the Gulf coast may see them tonight.

I have some friends who recently immigrated to Calgary from the Philippines. Hopefully they get to see the northern lights for the first time tonight.

It’s not a huge improvement over anywhere else within the city limits.

It has cleared up a bit, but for such a high KP I am not seeing anything at the moment.

Thousands of people is the Fort Nelson area are being evacuated because of wildfire combined with 70 km/h winds. The solar storm has apparently interfered with satellite phones which sucks because a lot of workers in the more remote areas rely on them to get information and some companies are struggling to reach people. Really bad timing for something like this.

First time I've seen this much red in the northern lights. In NW Calgary.
