Check out these sites to see what we see many times in Northern WI. The show is put on by activity on the sun, which you can check out by links on the links also. I have watched them all my life.
Once while hauling pulp far into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, My driving partner and I seen a show that was rare, emerald in color, and so bright and covered the whole northern sky, he asked me "what the hell is that", he was a superstitious sort, so I said "holy cow Skip, the Russians nuked Canada", and that was the afterglow. He got so upset he laid down on the floor of the truck, covered his head with his jacket and went to sleep. There were trucks and cars pulled off the highway the show was so exceptional, so I did likewise. They call this "gods country" up here, and after a show like that, I guess it is fitting.

I live in Maryland and I think it was last year I saw one. I wasn't expecting it and was driving a dusk and I couldn't take my eyes off it and finally had to pull over. I knew what it was from pictures but couldn't believe I was seeing it. Breath-taking. You are lucky to see it all the time.
