Northern lights

[Blackgeetee]

Did anyone else see these tonight? This was the first time I've ever seen them, they were pretty damn impressive. Almost spooky. I guess it was the most intense display in a long time. :rockon:

I saw the aurora only once. It was amazing.

There was supposed to have been a CME from the sun a few days ago which is just now hitting earth.

Here's a plot.

I thought it was only visable from Alaska or am I thinking of something else?

 

[Big Vito]

Wish I would've known that I could've seen them here. I would've been out taking pics rather than watching TV :bash:

Friend of mine took these last night. This is what they were seeing in Racine, WI

Cool, you know we don't get them around here. Too bad.
We get earthquakes instead, hahaha. Someday I'll see them, someday...

I see stuff like that a lot, but it is usually at sunset when the sun tries to break its way through the polluted skies of Houston.

I see them every so often here, first time I saw it, the light was brown, I thought it was a giant shit cloud, run for your lives!!!(kingpin for those of you who don't know) but last night it would be red, and slightly green. Pretty wild. I was gonna snag some pics buy had no batteries for the digi cam.

Even Sacramento Cali.

I can't wait to see it again. It was awesome. I've never seen it in cali only once when I was in Labrador, Newfoundland.

You guys up north there should be looking tonight. You might see it again.

 

[RidnRodsLightng]

I'm so jealous! I'll never see them in Texas. Keep the pics coming! This is prime time for NL right?

 

[ezernut9mm]

[sohowcome]

[SALEEN039]

I was on a flight from Florida to Atlanta Sun. night and the pilot said they were visible, I didnt see them.....Wish I could have.

 

[superlftman]

Up here in Minnesota got to see a little bit of it, first time i have ever seen anything like it. Wish i had a digital camera to capture it.
