Potential Aurora watch?

UK Aurora alert just went off, but not seeing anyone post anything here yet plus the shetland island live cameras are still showing nothing.
 
Nothing here yet but they suspect once the BZ flips from south to north we'll get another peak of activity (In about 20-30 minutes time) here's a photo from one of my buddies down in Québec earlier tonight, probably the most intense red aurora I've seen posted

SOL are you a ham? Luckily the impacts from the storm didn’t hit to bad, but it’s only now hitting Earth, the K index is currently at 3. So only now starting to disrupt HF radio frequencies. Nothing seen last night to cloudy.

Here a pic I took back in May when it was visual with the naked eye.

Bands were good yesterday apparently but probably dead next few days I’d guess, but I’m in Tenerife anyhoo!

nice to know there are a few hams on here......2e0xxo
no AU contacts heard by pointing up north, but a 3 is a bit borderline for the midlands.

Bz in the negative always gives us the chance of seeing something

Reactions: Sol
Another X flare in progress at the moment, pretty sure this one has pretty much zero chance of hitting us on earth since AR3844 Is the producer.

Additional edit: looks like some faint auroras on shetland islands atm.
 
Plenty social media pics of it hitting Montrose right now …. And we are in canaries ! Typical
 
reports of an x14 flare on the farside of the sun ! if that hit us you would see some fireworks...lol
 
K of 6 this morning, some Aurora was visible with the naked eye, I missed was still zzzzzzzz lol but seen plenty of pics, HF bands seem a bit flat this morning, probably more storm action to come!
 
Seems to be easing off now but should be visible with a clear sky
