Aurora visible in Victoria - excellent local conditions on 80m

We are experiencing a severe geomagnetic storm at the moment. The Macedon Radio club's 80m net noticed the strongest local signals in recent memory. Eric, VK3ED, suggested that I had bent his digital S meter. 

It was difficult to detect with the naked eye - I probably didn't stay out long enough for my eye to adapt - but phone cameras these days can pick up this sort of thing with a time exposure.

The colours shifted slowly over time with reds and greens.

Interesting that local 80m signals were big because the prediction of band conditions was not looking good.

(This is not live by the way).
