For the first time in a very long time there has been a powerful Solar storm. There is a good chance that the aurora will be visible tonight and tomorrow night, even as far south as the Netherlands, so anyone out there level with us or further north - keep your eyes peeled tonight

(Also posting this in the lounge for the Canuks!)

Is East Angular above or below the Netherlands?

I fell asleep! We had cloud cover near Washington DC so maybe tonight? I think we are too far south but it was mentioned on the all-news station here. As a child (50s) I remember having northern lights in Salisbury Md. Anyone else remember this in Maryland??

East Anglia is about level with the Netherlands. the further north - so Norfolk/northern Suffolk you are the better the chance of seeing them.

It clouded over here last night and it is horrible here (17C rain and windy ) today so my chances of seeing them are very small.

I went out last night, but didn't see them, even though it was fairly clear.

I will try again tonight (though it's also raining here at the mo it has to be said).

Uh.., no. I think DC is about as far south as Spain. Maybe you can make your way to say, Newfoundland, by tonight?

They have come this far south before so be nice, bardo1.

I think I saw on the ABC news tonight that it could be seen in Wisconsin, as well as somewhere else north of that - they showed the pictures. I wasn't paying too much attention, as I live in Miami! It would be wonderful to see, though.
