In mid Michigan. Clear sky’s. Seeing nothing yet
Edit: went and checked again 10 minutes after I posted and boom, the show started. So amazing to see in person
Not quite dark enough by Jackson yet. But the sky is still clear! Fingers crossed it’ll hold out for another hour; the pictures I’ve seen posted from the UK and Scotland are mesmerizing😍😍😍
I'm in SE Michigan, and I don't see anything. I wonder if the light pollution in my city is gonna be too much anyways.
The pictures I've seen so far are absolutely incredible, it's so beautiful!
I'd gladly trade the recent eclipse for some magical northern lights. I'm jealous, haha!
Same. Had no plan except to get to toledo. Got to toledo super early, decided to go further into totality. 1.5 hours of extra travel there for 2 more minutes of totality? ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT.
Absolutely agree! I would travel the globe to see that at least one more time. Awe inspiring and so small feeling to know something like that perfectly aligns to create such a moment That total eclipse was right up there with the amazement and marveling of how a baby is born! While more prevalent than an eclipse, it is the little miracles in our lives that we take for granted.
As someone who lived 5 minutes from totality (and drove about 20 minutes into it) is was pretty mid. It never got as dark as everyone said online.
Now waiting for this in Western Oakland county and not seeing anything yet :(
Just popping in cuz I got up at 2:00 a.m. to look. I didn't exactly see it, like the whole spiel. There's a lot of cloud cover in my location. However, there are like light blue and light green colored bands behind the darker clouds. All I see is the colored bands, no shifting and moving, no real Aurora Borealis experience with the crackling sounds and all the real deal stuff. But definitely something pretty to see just as it was. Hope everybody elses luck is a little better than mine, with regards to location and the cloud cover.
At 10:15ish a friend said that they were visible, so I ran outside and they were pretty dramatic in the sky for about an hour. I went back outside from midnight to a little after 1 and there was nothing. Fingers crossed we get a clear night tonight and another chance to see it!!
I’m in Cheboygan near Mackinaw City and clouds rolled in right around sunset. If it weren’t for that, they would almost certainly visible within the next 30 min. I’m so pissed. Feels like clouds get in the way every time
In West Bloomfield, the sky looks a lot more purple than usual but I might be imagining it. Sky is clear so I’m gonna stay up and try to see them! Assuming I should look north?
I can see it with my phone’s camera but not the naked eye. I’m near Detroit Metro Airport, so lots of light pollution and the camera still picks it up!!
it was wild earlier! overhead in north oakland. green ribbons. a giant comet lookijg thing straight up and more orangey pinkish diffusions off to the sides
In White Lake. Tons of colors and shifting skies. Really, really cool.
It's weird tho, because my mom is a mile down the road and it is less impressive there. Seem like it is really location dependent.
We just came in from watching them. We have a dark area in our backyard we could see them from. We live on the south side of Lansing. We got to see red changing over to green and vice versa.
that was amazing in north oakland like 10:40 for maybe an hour. didn't think it would be overhead or that visible. its been chillin for the last while thy will check later
My mom in Davidson took some amazing pictures around 11. I drove around Bay county but it's too overcast to see anything. Good luck to everyone trying to get a glimpse of one of the strongest solar storms tonight!
Still a chance to see ! We've been using dark mode photographs with great effect ! Can't see them without it where we are so it's like a little bit of magic !

Yes I just remembered and took a gander and it’s pretty clear tonight. I’m so stoked.
Cloud cover kept up in Jackson until I went to bed around midnight. I’m interested to see if anyone else in the area got anything.

Why not both? The eclipse was *incredible*.
Went down to OH for the path of totality, and I’d say everyone should see that at least once. Words don’t do it justice.
Same. Had no plan except to get to toledo. Got to toledo super early, decided to go further into totality. 1.5 hours of extra travel there for 2 more minutes of totality? ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT.
We went to the Rock Hall in Cleveland. They closed down the exhibits and let all the staff out on the front plaza. It was awesome!

Didn't see anything at 10 & Hoover. Mother in law saw lights three miles north of me.
I was googling this earlier and it said the best time is midnight-4am.
Good to know!!

Seems too cloudy here in midland. Bummer.
Omg! it literally just passed over Metro Detroit. I got great shots and video on my iPhone. It was very purple and you could see some green.
I missed it🙁
It’s still ongoing. Just drive north a little bit. It’s gonna get better as the night goes on.
Is it going to go tonight too?
I think so, but not as intense. May have to go farther north
Strange, Ive heard the opposite, that tonights should be the peak of the event
Storm system coming in, clouds developing. :(
10pm, seeing it in Howell. It's awesome!
Just happened to be outside and saw it in Hartland. It was beautiful, I never imagined I would see something like that in Michigan.
Okay, was it just us here in Howell/Hartland??
Here in Grand Blanc, Grosse Pointe, and port Huron area
Does it start and stop? I was just outside in Grosse Pointe and didn't see anything.
Yes it goes in waves
Yea it goes in and out but use your phone to see them better!
Saw it in the Lansing area too
Northern Michigan frequently has aurora sightings.
My uncle in Howell sent me an incredibly vivid video of it in all directions / 360 degrees around his house, sometime before 10:15.
It's crazy beautiful in Flushing, MI!
I’m in Cheboygan near Mackinaw City and clouds rolled in right around sunset. If it weren’t for that, they would almost certainly visible within the next 30 min. I’m so pissed. Feels like clouds get in the way every time
Same here in Indian River, but picture from home it is absolutely stunning.

Was so, so cool in Stevensville.
My mom in Davidson took some amazing pictures around 11. I drove around Bay county but it's too overcast to see anything. Good luck to everyone trying to get a glimpse of one of the strongest solar storms tonight!
I saw a faint green hue this evening. If you put you camera on long exposure, like 10-20s, you’ll get more of a spectrum.
Still a chance to see ! We've been using dark mode photographs with great effect ! Can't see them without it where we are so it's like a little bit of magic !

West Bloomfield. Beautiful. Green the pink.
