Aurora Comes in View

USA Today

Skywatchers get ready: Thanks to heightened solar activity, the aurora borealis could be coming to the skies above a large portion of the United States this weekend, space weather forecasters said Thursday.

Federal forecasters from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center said that during previous solar activity of this magnitude, the “aurora has been seen as low as Alabama and northern California.” Experts say the aurora might be visible Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights. More

  1. Just wait until the left starts screaming that we are all doomed! Power outages, no internet, no cellphones, your autos won’t start, no electric.

    I’m sure they will blame ‘climate change’ for the sun’s activity.

    Just wait! Good grief!

  2. Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
    Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
    Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
    Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
    Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!
    Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – MASS HYSTERIA!

  3. Woohoo, we’re going to be unusually warm for early May in Eastern Wash. and N. Idaho in the mid 80’s the next few days. So, maybe with clear weather we might be able to see the Aurora in our neck of the N. Woods, I certainly hope so. My daughter and son in law and my 2 granddaughters who live in the Nashville area are too close to some wicked tornados that are perilously close to where they live within 25-30 miles away. I wish them well and better weather.

  4. Yahoo News & “experts say” lol I was inside the Arctic Circle in Finland last month. It was cloudy every night. Nothing to see. I’ll step outside my house tonight, though. You’d better come through, experts.

  5. Looks like rainy and cloudy weather in upstate NY for the weekend. One summer in the early 70s we had a really good show of the aurora for maybe a week. We all stood around looking up like a bunch of hicks in the big city for the first time. It was mesmerizing though.
