Subject: [CITASA] Huge Solar Storm happening right now
Some of my research looks at crowdsourcing early warning systems. We use sightings of the aurora borealis as a proxy for emergencies. I’m asking for your help today.
Please share this widely.
Please tweet.
Currently underway is THE aurora event of the year.
Geomagnetic storms levels are at severe.
Kp is predicted to reach 8 in the next hour and the solar wind power plot has blown over our color scale limit. Aurora would probably be visible from as far south as Alabama.
Just one problem… it’s daylight both in the US and in Europe.
Fingers crossed the levels remain high until nightfall.
Tonight—go outside and look up—look north.
Go to our website--http://aurorasaurus.org and log in what you see. Download the mobile app free.
You can also follow the Auroral oval as it moves south.
