With the G4 watch in place, the storm presumably registers an 8 or 9 on the Kp index, which measures the level of geomagnetic activity. When the Kp value reach that high, aurora “will become very bright and very active,” according to NOAA. NOAA said the northern lights are most visible between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., and when away from city lights. Viewing is also best when the moon is small. According to Space.com, the moon will be about half full Thursday night. **** Comets, auroras, floods; oh my! What next, an earthquake?

Right, Just go outside if the sky is clear, point your cell phone to the north horizon and use the 'night mode'... brace the phone up against a wall or use a stand and snap the photo.

That will make it visible to you even as far down as carolina. I took this one last night about 9pm. The colors of the sunset transmitted to the northern sky.

Kind of impressive really... you don't know it's there unless you're looking with the right kind of eyes.
