Surprised no one posted the 6 x class flares fucking up the solar feed today. Strongest output since 2005.

Wild, I've never seen the lights so bright.
This is from the mountains of Austria.

Just now, my backyard, West of Las Vegas in Southern Nevada. My exact words when I looked at my phone was 'HOLY SHIT'

The sun is coming up here. I checked during the night several times and never could see anything. I guess I'm too far south.

Perfect viewing conditions in the Seattle area last night, it was 85 during the day, totally clear skies, so was chilling the backyard a couple hours watching. Am up in the mountains a bit so less artifical light, was awesome, i mean my jaw was literally dropping at times. The show largely dissippated around 12:30am and i was tired as shit from a long week so went to bed, but saw a forecast that looked like tonight may be as good - crossing my fingers for more of the same.
