If the earth really were flat, this might be my chance to see the northern lights.

I read there was one event a few years ago where you could see them just a bit shy of Georgia.

Don't feel bad. I'm considerably further north than you, and I've only seen them once in my life.

Ive seen them a few times, one winter night many years ago was amazing.

Last night, too cloudy.

From the article:

"How will the upcoming storms affect life on earth?
The Washington Post reports that although the sun is nearly 93 million miles away, the solar activity on its surface can have serious repercussions across the entire solar system.

Solar storms have the potential to cause high-frequency radio blackouts and interrupt communications on Earth. They can damaged power grids and disrupted satellite communications as well."

Lets pray not.

What ? Georgia has electricity ? When did this happen ?

Last time I was there all the stills were still wood-fired.

I've seen Northern Lights all the way down to Kansas when driving late one night.

Years ago my airline had a charter flight from Cincinnati to KeflavĂ­k, Iceland to Brussels, Belgium. The leg to Kef would take us north of the Arctic Circle. Every night you would fly UNDER the Northern Lights. I mean directly under them as they moved and swayed like a giant curtain way above you. It was pretty amazing.
