Off topic-Northern Lights in Pittsburgh

Anyone else see this and get excited? I might bike up to Riverview Park and try to see this. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/region/pittsburgh-skies-may-light-up-tonight-683311/

I may try to drive out to Wagman Observatory in the Tarentum area. I'm already north of A.O., but have a bunch of lights to my immediate north. You need a dark, clear sky. Cloud cover is expected to be not ideal, but we might have a shot at it. Looking outside right now, I see patches of blue with quite a few clouds (60% cover); should be down to 30% cover by 2 a.m. I've only seen them twice in Pittsburgh in 31 years.
