Blue, this site is pretty involved, plus they do a lot of stuff and lots of numbers have to be figured out before addressing an alert. big events can go like busts. the last big storm was just a glancing blow. this is more direct. so we'll c.. never know what will happen. good luck AW, but dont hurt your eyes. plus, im sure ull have pplenty more chances to see the lights again if u dont see it tonight.

I agree, but if you know what numbers and imagery to look at the site you are using  really does not matter. 

Its all in the data.

Well it could arrive at anytime now, but there are no clear signe that it is coming yet.

It is local midnight here, I have to be at work at 7 AM.  Not sure how much longer I am going to wait this one out.  Maybe one more hour...

Region 808 is in a gradual state of simplification. It produced another impulsive X-class flare (X1.1 at 08:38 UTC). We are uncertain if this event was associated with an Earthward-directed coronal mass ejection. There is insufficient data available at the present time.
