Default Northern Lights

So apparently there was a rather large solar storm that is hitting earth and one result is that the northern lights come further south. I'm not sure how many members we have in northern states but its possible we might get to see them tonight. I'm watching a few different sources to see.

Major Solar Storm Hits Earth, May Pull Northern Lights South - ABC News <-- storm article

Aurora - 30 minute forecast | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center <-- another map

I heard the Pittsburgh could have seen it but I did not see anything outside. Would have been cool to see too.

They are a beautiful sight to see when you can see them. I have seen them many many times over the years, but every time I see them it is like the first time
