Down in Tennesee I think they would be mostly just a glow on the northern horizon. But you might be able to see them if you have a good spot to look.

I'm in pennsylvania- they were pretty big, lighting up about 40 degrees of the sky at their max. lighting up the clouds.

They've quieted down to about a third of their maximum, but if you watch it you can see these eerie flickers of light, sudden streaks and banners. In the brightest areas it lights up almost white in patches, like a lightning bolt seen from a distance, but it lasts longer.

Not as colorful as some I've seen, mostly blue and white.
