re: #166 Cheechako

For those who might still be awake in the northern States.

Forecast: Auroral activity will be high(+). Weather permitting, highly active auroral displays will be visible overhead from Inuvik, Yellowknife, Rankin and Igaluit to Vancouver, Helena, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Bay City, Toronto, Montpelier, and Charlottetown, and visible low on the horizon from Salem, Boise, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Indianapolis and Annapolis.

I was just outside in the village park raising the flag from half-staff. The Northern Lights here are low on the horizon but pretty kewl.

Was there a solar flare or something recently?
