A solar shock wave cracked Earth’s magnetic field last night, but everything is fine
Its too bad they cant alert people to the potential, we might have seen it in Oregon. The SWPAC system doesn't seem to send out alerts like it is supposed to.

You can also see the polar view of the aurora map, which gives you a probability value of seeing an aurora at a given location.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
