This is when I feel like flying to Canada or Alaska to see the aurora.

Have heard stories that some solar storms push viewing of the aurora down to the Lower 48.

Depending on where you are, don’t forget Iceland. Great aurora displays, good air links from several US cities.

I was driving from Montreal airport to Mt. Tremblant in Sept. 2003 and had quite a display for the entire trip. It took me a while to fully understand what it was I was seeing until I stopped along the highway to get a better look.

Neat thing to experience for this Florida resident. I’m like you on making the trip to see them with a real heavy storm.

I’ve seen (a pretty rare occasion) the Aurora as far south as S. IL. Granted that it was not as dramatic as some of the pics from up north that get posted, but the glow to the north was fairly strong. Obviously, this storm is not expected to make much of a display that far south.
