Damn, I had no idea there was a chance of it being visible from here and didn't even try to see it.
Wasn't expecting much with the last night's geomagnetic storm, but seeing the aurora come in on the camera was definitely an "oh shit" moment for me and my wife, especially when it got overexposed. The initial burst in the gif was very noticeable to the naked eye, despite our light pollution. Sadly it died down a bunch, but seems to have come back (although not as strong) after 3am (video timestamp is in UTC). Tonight definitely wont be as strong, but I'm hoping the camera might pick something up on another timelapse. Captured on May 10th, 2024 from Atlanta, GA
(probably) Better quality version on youtube
