[Rockhounds] An unusually strong solar storm tonight could produce northern lights in the U.S.

[Alan Goldstein]

I am seeing aurora photos on the morning news from the Louisville area last
night and one photographed in Mississippi. Apparently, they weren’t easily
seen with the naked eye. I was driving from Cincinnati to Louisville last
night and didn’t notice anything. Granted, I was not looking due north…
