In that case you'd see them before I do.

Oh yeah, according to my dad the thunderstorm I saw about 2-4am this morning, with the red clouds, was possibly the result of the Solar Flare. The lighting activity was exceptionally high with little precipitation. It was pretty cool actually.

Where did you come by this information, Z? I just checked and saw nothing, and it would appear to be the same for everyone else. Ah well, maybe they'll be out later, when it starts getting lighter out, but I need sleep. Don't want to get sick [img]smile.gif[/img]

Stormymystic · 10-29-2003, 11:31 PM

ok, umm how long does any one light show last? is it continuos? or can it happen in a flash? cuz I saw like 3 different orange flashes, while watching the leaves fall from the willow tree :/ am I seeing things, or can they be split second things?

Faint blue light paints the sky near Boston.

Well, its almost 12:30 AM in Central Texas and I haven't seen a thing.

*pout* Far too much light pollution here to see anything. I would have to drive 30 minutes west, north, or east to try and see anything.

Chewbacca · 10-30-2003, 01:39 AM

Hey according to this report the light-shows will stick around til Friday because another solar storm is on the way.
