I finally managed to see them a couple years ago when we had that one incredible geomagnetic storm. Be ready for them to just look like faint gray streaks to the naked eye, but look just like those colorful professional photos through a smartphone camera with a night mode.
It really depends on their intensity and local light conditions. I saw them once when I was a kid while sitting around a campfire out in the middle of nowhere and they were spectacular.

Ah, I figured that was probably the case, still a good idea for OP to be aware that it might be like I saw them and not just assume they aren’t there.
