I'm in the Midwest, too, and I went to see if I could spot them. Just very dark sky, half a moon, and a ton of stars. Maybe I'll head back out later and check. You're so lucky, LOL. They're beautiful.
The crazy thing is that our local news stations advised that to see the lights we should get to a dark area away from city lights. I drove have an hour into the country to find a dark road and didn’t see anything.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of what you saw in the night sky. Amazing.
And her house is okay. Her neighbours took pictures of and around her home for her, and she posted them to the storm thread. Even her garden seems pretty much intact, just some downed tree branches and a couple other small things.
Looks like a great breakfast! Take it easy on those roads tomorrow, there's going to be debris and damage everywhere. I've never been through a hurricane myself, but I'm Australian, and summers here are generally underwater or actively on fire, sometimes both at once, and nothing messes up a road surface like a disaster. If nothing else, oversaturation tends to mean pothole city.
