northern light -- tonight

[abc]

Allow me to interrupt the regular program for a weather anomaly...

For those of you in the norther locations, there's a possibility of seeing the northern light TONIGHT!

That is, provided you have clear sky.

To date I've never seen the northern lights. Hopefully some day it will happen. Hopefully some got a chance last night.

Level 4 geomagnetic storm! Northern lights + a ton of wind + power outages in various places.

I'd expect a lesser aurora tonight as well as the magnetosphere is still being pounded by photons and gamma radiation from that coronal mass ejection and subsequent Earth facing sun spotting.
