You and I are right on the edge of the predicted show. It certainly won't be as potentially spectacular as from IR but maybe we'll get a glimpse.

Here's what some saw from the Keweenaw over the weekend. View from the Island must have been great:

Down here in Illinois, between the clouds, city lights and just being in IL, I saw zilch. I'll keep looking tonight.
