Oh I'm just being a twit, since you said you looked north.
(We had the Northern Lights in the U.S., including Washington, this Sunday [would have been visible days afterwards too, if not for lots of stupid fog].)
Yeah, I was told about it. It happened during my 4 day internet outage (hey, maybe it caused it?) and by the time I heard, we had cloudy weather for 3 days straight so I didn't get to see anything other than that green blob.
I have seen good aurora before, even though I live a bit too far south (magnetic pole being in Canada means there's more at low latitudes in America than Europe). I once remember walking home under glowing red curtains that covered the sky and seemd to 'hang' from straight above my head.
I also saw a massive fragmented meteor once. The trails spanned over half the sky and took a couple minutes to pass overhead. That was fortuitious timing of taking the dog outside :)
