I'm sittin here in The Dalles with a terrific, wide open view to the north from the picture window in my living room.

I wonder how those guys up in the space station are taking this? I once read a story by an astronaut saying he'd try to stay close to the battery banks (full of lead plates) when they went through solar storms. Must be having a doozy up there right now, or maybe later today.

And you've got dark skies there! I've Seattle just north of me, and many lights all around. Wish they'd throw the main switch for the night.
