yeah, shity weather here has stopped me from going out, auroras have been seen in port huron, michigan... so they are visible from around milwaukee too...
kp index is currently at a 6 and has been for 5 or 6 hours or so.
i wonder if there might be another wave of plasma that could kick this storm up a level.

ZippoZ said: so, thanks to some very new and fancy statellites, yesterday, there were 2 simeotaneuos events (explosions or relaings of energy) over 400,000 KM apart. they have thrown a large amount of charged particles towards earth, which is causing the current Geomagnetic Storm. you can see a video of the explosions here http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/08/03/eruptingfilament.mov
This storm will likely produce visible auroras in places usually not able to see them.
here is a link to the storm data, right now its at a K level of 5 (which is a storm) http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html
and here is a map where you can compare the K-index (storm intensity for all intense purposes) to your physical location, to see if you can see, the auroras. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/info/kp-aurora.html
Im located in northern illinois at the moment and have hopes to get a few good sightings in.
hope yall get a chance to see something amazing as well.
shit, THAT'S what it was. i was outside thinking 'this is the craziest lightening ever'

There is a lot of fog out tonight. I see a shit load of lightening in the clouds and rolloing light almost. I'm not sure if it's just heat lightening, lightening from a storm, or the auroras.

The sky is completely full of clouds and lightening. There is very little thunder, but the lightening is amazing and spiderwebing across the sky. I just got back from going on a bike ride through the woods and it's like a fireworks display lighting up the woods like a strobe light. I have to admit it was creepy as fuck.

me and ani went to a festival that the lightening was like that recently.
Just insane heat lightening, and then the real lightening got closer and closer.
My monkey brain was going nuts. The breakcore tent made it awesome.

often tmies the aurora is very subtle, most of the pictures you see are time lapse photos.....
often times you can be looking directly up into it, and its just a white or light diffuse hue that you can almost not percieve moving. interestingly enough, its 50 miles above your head, and moving rapidly, but you just cant tell because its so massive.
long exposure images taken on a tripod will often reveal what the eye will not.
the storm has dropped to a level 5, still significant, and a definate storm. keep looking through the night if you can!
also, im really glad to see that some of you have had a chance to see this amazing feat of nature <3

totally was able to see it in the NW part of Oregon. we watched it for a few hours. it was mostly unimpressive from my location, but there were a couple of times when it just lit up most of the horizon.
tomorrow i plan on finding a better place to view from, perhaps from the top of a mountain. anyone else seeing it?
