Yes, the auroral activity extended very far south. We had a strong showing of red (and green) auroras here in central Colorado, with activity straight overhead, so I'm not surprised it might be seen in Texas. The show tonight looked very similar to what we saw back in the early 2000s, when auroras were seen even in northern Mexico.

The show lasted about 30 minutes, and started about an hour after sunset. Nothing for the last few hours, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

Dear List,  My internet site is "lit up" with reports of strange red clouds 
from Ontario to Texas (100s of queries).  This may be the result of a CME that is/was due 
to hit Earth today???  Anyone know for sure what is going on?
