If you go to https://spaceweather.com they have a link for text alerts when these things are about to happen.

That is one way.

I visit that site and a similar site for CME and space weather information: https://www.spaceweatherlive.com

There is a lot to see and to follow. I just came back inside after snapping pics since just after dark here in N Texas. We had a good show that started off behind the clouds but it was bright enough to shine through the clouds. Then a few hours later after the clouds cleared it was great. My camera battery quit on me. I used three cameras tonight and only really got usable photos from my iphone, whose camera I normally hate because it always seems to process images after I take them. Part of it is probably on me since I haven't taken the time to study how to optimize settings.

Anyway. Tomorrow should be another good day for this. Keep your eyes on the sky!

I'd also recommend checking a website like https://www.lightpollutionmap.info to find an area nearby that has less light pollution.
