After the strongest solar storm in 20 years; It looks like the chance of seeing the northern lights is going to extend much farther south tonight.

Yes, somewhere in the world tonight one will be able to
to see the Northern Lights. In Texas? Probably not.

I saw that it is supposed to be stronger tomorrow night with a better probability of seeing them in Texas. Can't remember where though.

ARE WE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE A NEW CARRINGTON EVENT? AR3664 is indeed a 'Carrington-class' sunspot, but the CMEs it hurled toward Earth over the past few days are not as potent as the monster CME of Sept. 1, 1859. NOAA says we might experience a severe geomagnetic storm when the CMEs arrive this weekend. If geomagnetic storms were hurricanes, 'severe' would be category 4. The Carrington Event was category 5 or greater. So this is no Carrington Event. Even so, category 4 is pretty intense.

Man I might drive to Oklahoma to see these things. Wish I knew the probability of seeing them and how far I would need to go.

Wyoming, South Dakota, maybe Nebraska. That's how far you need to go to have a worthwhile shot.

What it looks like to me is that it is a remote possibility in northern OK to have an off chance at barely seeing it with the naked eye.

I'm now seeing that Houston may see them on the horizon if you've got an unobstructed view and no artificial light around.

Here are the latest reports from the other side of the world. I'm shocked New Zealand saw them...

Ukraine:

A guy on Fox Weather just said it will be a multi-day bombardment with it possibly being cumulative on equipment. This could get ****ed up.

In New England and can faintly see them. Then took some pictures and they look awesome with lots green and pink.

Maybe I'm being a Scrooge, but the pictures look so much cooler than the real experience. It is a bit cloudy so that could be impacting it.

I saw on FB some reports of being able to see them around College Station and Grimes Co. Any truth to that?

Not as impressive as I had hoped, but our jackass neighbor that lives in CdA showed up about 45 minutes ago for his 1 weekend per month, started shooting a rifle, and is now driving all over the place spotlighting trying to find his dog.
