Default aurora borealis - do you see it?

A big solar flare is supposed to be producing a good aurora borealis tonight.

Earth 'in the crosshairs' of a solar explosion - Technology & science - Space - Space.com - msnbc.com

Just wondering if any of you that live in Northern latitudes (Mounds, NDN etc.) are getting a show tonight?

I'll put my boots on, step out the back door into the alley, and find out.

Nothing yet. It's a bit cloudy right now, though. Besides, the article you posted said that the Northern Lights could occur anytime during the night, so it might happen later.

I've seen them! Not the amazing purple rainbow ones, but still, pretty incredible.

I saw them when I lived in Michigan, but I'm too far south this time! They were the green ones.

I wish!

With the tech glitches yesterday and today I'm not surprised about the solar flares.

Another sign of consciousness shifting viewed with the hermetic principle.

I haven't seen anything but today all my electronics went nuts for a couple seconds. The TV shut on and off and my computer monitor was making big wavy motions across the screen. This was before I had even heard about the solar flare.

This is something I've always wanted to see, though given I'm located at the other end of the earth, I'll be looking for the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights. I live too far north in New Zealand to see them, but apparently Lake Tekapo in the South Island, in October, is the best time to see them.
