Low-Latitude Auroras

Has anyone been able to see auroras where they live during this recent solar storm?

My skies aren't that dark and are usually covered with clouds this time of year, so I would be hard pressed to see them. But then, if this estimate for the extent of viewable auroras from the current storm is accurate, I am not far north enough to see them at 45 degrees latitude on the West Coast:
