Did anybody see Rebecca?

I’ve read it might be visible in northern Colorado. I haven’t gone outside and looked.

I saw the lights quite vividly in North Carolina at the Outer Banks looking north over the sound. This was in the early 2000’s.

Solar Flares: What Does It Take to Be X-Class?
Karen C. Fox
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
"Although X is the last letter, there are flares more than 10 times the power of an X1, so X-class flares can go higher than 9. The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28."

I recall as a kid in the late 50’s, the Northern Lights were once visible in south Mississippi.

The latest satellite reading does not look all that promising - it was a lot more intense early this evening (but still not visible in CT).
