At 8:27pm central time this is what I spotted looking North. The Big Dipper is present. Do not know what caused the red color in the sky. Almost like the Northern Lights. Can someone help me out?

AURORAS IN THE USA--NOW! Northern Lights have spilled across the Canadian border into the contiguous USA. Observers report auroras as far south as Arkansas, Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Maryland, New York, and Ohio. The display was caused by the CME impact described below.
CME IMPACT: A CME hit Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 24th at approximately 1800 UT (02:00 pm EDT). Acording to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the impact caused a strong compression of Earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind to penetrate all the way down to geosynchronous orbit for a brief period between 19:06 UT and 19:11 UT.
Thanks for taking the time and effort.
And CONGRATULATIONS on the AC!
