I believe it brother! I am in Iowa and, at one point, we could see it with the naked eye! No phone required. We were all just amazed. I could see the red and what looked like white dazzling smoke dancing below it. It was incredible! So rare to see down here! It was breathtaking. We tried to video it but it was crap. Need a longer exposure time and increased light sensitivity than the video equipment we have can do.

Northern Light as Seen from Iowa
Saw what with the naked eye? The Lights?
Hmmm, well here they were bright enough to light everything up like it was a cloudy afternoon (even though there was no moon). I could have done my gardening by the light from the Lights. I couldn't get it to show up on my camera, but I have vivid memories of it!
Usually, when the Aurora dips south enough for Iowa to see it, it is so dim that we need to see it through the night vision and extended exposure on a smart phone. Hubby has one. Otherwise we can't see it. So yeah, we were amazed by all the colors we could see without the tech.
