light pollution up the wazoo, but here's what I just saw from the alley behind my garage:

I've only ever seen the northern lights from my house once before, and they were pretty faint. Saw a spectacular display from an airplane once. Last year I was chasing them and drove halfway to Duluth to get away from the lights, ended up in Hinckley at 3:00 am but it was worth the trip. But tonight from my back yard it was bright red, and I've never seen that before!
