    Default Severe solar storm, possible significant Northern Lights tonight

    As a result of significant events over the last few days on the sun, a severe solar storm is currently in progress. The intensity is nearly off the charts (currently at a Kp of 8.7, tops out at 9.0). If the skies are clear where you are tonight, get outside away from the street lights and look up. Should be visible fairly far south.

    They announced that on the news last night. Didn't see any, but then I forgot to look. Overcast tonight, so that's no good.

    I bet your get the colorful version up there. We usually just get the whitish/grayish variety. Still amazing and beautiful, though.
