So you experienced MP's last Big Dog in Feb '08?

Yessir, I drove home after that storm for my birthday, 2 days after it was done we were still buried.

Same. Goodbye snow, hello sun.

Aurora now naked eye visible on the horizon. Washed out haze of green and red at the moment, but we’ll see if we get any substorms that help put on a more vivid display. 

[Chicago Storm]

I can see the lights even here at ORD currently.

[cyclone77]

Wow that was an incredible burst of pinks.  Best I've ever seen for sure.

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Holy cow, very bright and directly overhead, visible to naked eye in the city.

[hawkeye_wx]

By far the best northern lights I've ever seen.

[KeenerWx]

Directly overhead now in NW Indiana. 

[sbnwx85]

My penance for an early big dog is I’m socked under clouds and can’t see any aurora borealis

This was from just a short time ago near home…

[Jackstraw]

That was the best Aurora ever for me down here!

Another impact will happen from the X5 flare earlier. The impact from the X5 flare was actually forecasted to be the strongest. From the two CME’s that led to tonight’s show, forecast was for G3 @ 7+ KPI. We got to G4 @ what looks like at this point 8+/9-. Tomorrow had been forecast G4 at 8/8+. 
 

All to say, some thought is that tomorrow will end up being even more extraordinary. The downside is that (1) peak is projected during daylight hours, (2) clouds will be a problem for many in the sub.
