auroras

[discolé monade]

Space forecasters say severe solar storms could hit Earth and trigger auroras

the sky was red (always makes me think of 'night of the comet') and it reminded me of the fires in cali. come to find out, we could see them all the way down here. just red/pink

 

my first time seeing the auroras, we had just moved to vermont, i had to climb on the roof to fix the antenna, because the dial would only move it so far. it was just me and my stepmonster, and we were watching some alien/space monster show...and the signal wasn't coming in well (that signal came from n.h.) 

so there i am, on the roof of a 2 story house looking at wave of different light, whites and greens and i just KNEW it was aliens. 

i was a very stupid child

There's a ton of light pollution around here so I'm not sure if I would have seen anything either way, but of course it was completely overcast too.

Someone was talking about this today. They claimed they saw some green but this is a major city with crazy light pollution so I didn't totally buy it. I'll look up tonight though.

you get the greens north north. i could barely see them in vermont that one time. so...iono. 

this is the 2nd time in about 3 years this has happened.

Did I miss it?  I haven't seen anything even though from some of the maps it looked like it was supposed to be visible in my area.
