    Howled a gail, wind rain and overcast all night here in NE Tassie. No gail anymore still over cast and rain.

    No aurora to be seen

      It was a bit underwhelming sadly.

    Bz is very negative (-29 currently), if it holds there, this will be spectacular.

      Eased off to -12. Still good. More negative is better. A little more to it, but good enough metric.

      Somewhere there is a site with a graph, but that one will give a numerical value.
