    Alaska resident here…Auroras have been going nuts last few days. My wife and I texted all the neighbors on Monday night. The whole street came out to watch. Usually, we mostly see green and occasionally silver/white. Monday night was was a lot of red/white/green. Reds seem to be the most rare

      Yeah, not even close. I was absolutely ready to drive north tomorrow night to watch it until I checked NOAA. Now I’m going to stay here and get drunk.

      Even the north most parts of California experiencing auroras is a newsworthy event though!

    Not to be a spoil sport, but it could hit during the day. They think it might arrive as early as this morning.
    Unsure hope long these shows go on for, but that’sa consideration.

      I looked at the NOAA aurora forecast and it doesn’t even really go into Oregon. This headline is just wrong

    I live in a northern swampland and as such, just always get a yellowish glow because of the humidity. I think? We just always have this general glow that kills any fun cosmic opportunities.
