Yeah, we've even been able to see it in S.W. Washington St. I drive out of town a ways and park on a hill(about 4000ft.)with an unobstructed view of the Northern horizon, and away from the "light-pollution" of the city. It's been overcast and raining lately though, darn. The down side of all the flare activity is that it can be hazardous to fly because of increased exposure to solar radiation at high altitudes.
