Strong aurora's this evening

For what it is worth, my aurora alert app just went off to let me know that there are currently strong auroras going on. I think the strongest activity was about 2-4 hours ago but the planetary Kp index is still sitting at 5. I can't see anything from my location but maybe others who are located on the North American plains will have better luck? Maybe post pictures if you see anything?

Judging by the POES data, I doubt anybody south of 60 degrees north latitude would see much of anything. Checking satellite weather views for cloud cover suggests that Nunavut, at least, is mainly overcast. Yukon's too far west (and also overcast), and Greenland's a bit far east (and also overcast).

So... anybody from the Northwest Territories?

Sorry, I should have been more clear for posterity... I was posting about strong auroras the night of August 27th (morning of August 28th UTC). As it turnrd out, things were over by the time I posted this thread so it was a non event by then. The data suggests that it had been very active about 2-4 hours before my post, however.
