There were other reports of the aurora being seen in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Alaska.



Widespread areas of Northern Europe were expected to see the aurora later Tuesday.

NOAA scientists say that depending on how long it lasts and how intense the storm continued to be, states as far south as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon could see the aurora on Tuesday night.

I remember a few years ago the aurora could be seen as far south as Arkansas, because my father-in-law, who was always a sky watcher and had a nice telescope setup, was excited about seeing it.
