Details:
The aurora parameters were pretty quiet early on as the Bz-value was hugely positive (bad thing) so I was considering going to sauna, but before that I checked the parameters one last time and they had taken a complete U-turn. So I packed my gear and cycled few kilometers to a swamp area located in middle of a forest. Spent maybe one hour waiting and saw something I had never seen before; half of the sky was covered in faint red auroras. Red was literally the only color in the sky for a while. I knew something huge was about to happen and yeah, the sky came raining down. At around midnight the auroras had escaped to the the south horizon, meaning people in South- and Mid Finland had decent auroras as well.
