Possible Northern Lights Tonight!

This would be cool! A massive solar storm is heading our way, and it could bring the Northern Lights far enough south we could see them. And it's a clear night! WooHoo!

Perhaps if you purchase an excellent telescope and look closely in the northwestern sky. You might be "nominally" capable of seeing the Northern Lights!

Its the end of the world!!!! Actually you have two choices NASA or NOAA. They disagree on the severity of the solar storm. I mean if this is science shouldn't the outcome of the research be nearly identical? Imagine trying to predict the weather in the future when they can't even get on the same page for a solar flare. The result is a light show that can be seen down to Alabama if the sky is clear and it will be in the wee hours of the morning. According to NOAA it will be about 8:00 AM CST and NASA says more like 5:00 AM CST.

I think we got another flare that will affect us Saturday night as well.
