Last Thursday, after Gaila got off work, we went north of town to try to catch a display of the northern lights after reports of a solar storm heading for earth that was supposed to hit that night. We got out of town by 11:00 PM and got to see a little bit of green aurora for a while. From what I have found online, we missed the best of the show earlier that night between 6 PM and 8 PM. Someone from Des Moines photographed them over Sailorville lake. The best we saw was most similar to this image.
Did anyone else in Iowa get out to see this?
