Its fine. We won't be under it for a long enough period of time(if it happens) for it to do any damage. Besides maybe messing with satellites and radios.

West Germany. This is going absolutely crazy right now and it doesn't stop. Took loads of pictures with my camera

Please be nighttime in the US already…
Alless gut. I'm in Canada, have family near Tübingen and Baden Baden. Hechingen would be amazing spot for something like this.
Netherlands here. Went outside to watch, but I can't see shit. Bad combination light cloud cover and of course light polution from the city.
At most I see a very, very faint purple haze (heh) but that's about it.

Never expected to see it in SE UK. Started off really faint, then you could see the bands as a dull red/pink glow in the sky with the naked eye. Wish we could see like a camera can.
Brilliant photo.
Holy shit!... Just come in from seeing the most incredible aurora display for over an hour. Amazing reds and greens, and well defined curtains and shafts. I never thought I'd see such a display in SW England (Exmoor) I'm getting the pics off my camera and will post one when I do.
Well worth heading out for.

Oh wow I'm jealous! I live near Barnstaple but too many lights to see it. Should have taken the trek to the moors!
It's still pretty strong going by the readings. Just check your local cloud cover :)
Extremely possible tonight, especially if you're further north. It's almost certainly going to be visible from camera lenses, at least.
Didn't see the news about this but a friend pinged telling us to go outside and caught the tail end of this! As someone who recently travelled to Iceland in part to catch the northern lights, I can't believe we saw them even clearer right on our doorstep in the UK haha... beautiful.
on a work trip in philly and its been raining almost all god damn week and of course its fucking cloudy as shit tonight too
What a shame. Most certainly worth it I'm sorry to say.
Need to go through the many pics, but here's a quick one.
