Anyone get pics of the Aurora last night?

Apparently there was a class G4 storm last night. Aurora were very bright and visible as far South as New Mexico! I got a few pics with my iPhone from here in Southern Ontario:

how does it look in person, is it more beautiful than the images?
I am from Egypt, the day we get an aurora is the day half of humanity dies

When seen in person the colours are more subdued, the camera pics them up better than the eye does. They are impressive to see though. Pretty unusual to see them even where I am (44.5 deg N). Last time I saw them was several years ago.

I flew near the North Pole around December 21 2000, Chicago to Hong Kong and saw aurora for the only time.

I didn't expect to go so far north,

The aurora was like somebody throwing handfuls of yellow sand into water, for lack of a better description. A few seconds pass, then another handful, moving quickly at first then slowed, then dissipating over a few more seconds.

The funny part was watching the flight path on the seat monitor, thinking of Korean Airlines 007, not knowing that Siberan and Chinese airspace had been opened to commercial traffic.

Was fortunate to have a night flight From Buffalo to Chicago on another date with a stunning view of comet Hale-Bopp low over the northern horizon for over an hour..

Last night was a spectacular show…aurora was visible as far south as Puerto Rico! Hope you all had a chance to see it.

Over my front yard in Vancouver, Washington USA. We're in metro Portland, OR so there's a lot of light pollution. This is from an iPhone with some post processing:

From my dark backyard at 37 deg. N. it looked like a large expanse of pink haze at 1 AM. After 20 minutes it transitioned to green/blue/gray haze. Sky overhead was not clear, so my view to the north was probably not clear either.

Of course not, I live in Norway and it must have been a real show here, but of course no one told me so instead I watched TV

We did. By eye it was rather faint but my Wife's Samsung phone hugely amplified the brightness and colors, showing impressive images.

A friend and former broadcast network colleague who later managed a DC-area planetarium for two decades overnighted in Shenandoah National Park last night specifically to observe the aurora. The overcast weather in the mid-Atlantic region cut him a break and he shared the attached photos. He commented that it allowed him to briefly be a 'kid in a candy store.'

No. Walked out nothing to be seen. I live in Northern California right next to a national park. Anyone that claims they saw Northern Lights here is full of it.

Picture from my sister in southern Wisconsin at 1:00 AM. Southern CA May Grey nights and mornings so nothing to see.

The pictures look really beautiful!

Out of curiosity, how many heard differences in their HiFi system presentation during the solar storm period?

This guy thought the low notes felt more green...
