The aurora came to Vancouver in May and I was fortunate enough to see them at Crescent Beach. I follow the Aurora app and it sends me messages. I got a message yesterday. Last night they should have be visible in Vancouver. My neighbour who follows aurora too told me they were visible in Paris last night!

I waited up until midnight. Unfortunately clouds have appeared and I can't find anything at my home. Last May they were right over our house. It appears they did not come this far south, but there is always the hope!
It's a great hobby and I really enjoy it. I've been hoping for the sight of them in Alaska, but every trip I've taken, they've never been active. I look forward to the pictures other enthusiasts post showing the lights in their area.
