Default It's started again - but tonight it's red

The aurora started tonight at 1720z before it even got dark. Activity
was due north and consisted of a bright red curtain with rapidly moving
red rays ascending from it. Not sure whether this is the residue from
yesterday or the precursor of the next storm. The next few hours will
tell the story and maybe the unfortunates from last night will get a
viewing tonight. Broken cloud and a light NE wind.
