On Thursday night, a “severe” geomagnetic storm — rated a level four out of five by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — brought vibrant, bright auroras as far south as Arizona, California, Oklahoma, Iowa, New Mexico and North Carolina, according to reports on Twitter.
Hoping to see this event in South Carolina on the 28th.

They were going here in northern Michigan, Grayling area, also. I was fast asleep, though. I guess being an early riser, rather than a night owl, has an occasional drawback.
ReplyDeleteI read that this was caused by a huge Coronal Mass Ejection CME, or solar flare on the opposite side of the Sun. Radio communication was stopped for several hours. Had it been facing us, the results would not have been so nice. Likely would have fried a lot of electronics
