What was that flash? What was that boom?

Rattled outdoor furniture, frightened cats. We heard reports from several readers about the mysterious booms and flashes of light early this morning over Puget Sound:
"I was watching late night TV when at exactly 2:42 p.m. I saw the sky light up like a nuclear bomb had exploded. The entire sky and my whole yard glowed a luminous red color. I went outside to investigate and could hear a loud rumbling noise."

Lowest Tides in 19 Years Draw Crowds

Jun 5, 9:22 AM (ET), By GENE JOHNSON
SEATTLE (AP) - From barnacles to limpets, crabs and sea stars, the lowest tides in 19 years are revealing all sorts of unusual creatures trapped in tidepools - to the delight of beach-combing masses. Hundreds of people hit the sands Friday, with many more expected to head out over the weekend.
"It's really, really interesting. It gives you a window into what is there all the time that you don't see - sea cucumbers, sea stars, maybe an octopus," said Polly Freeman, a local naturalist who brought her 20-month-old son, Nate, to the beach at Seattle's Golden Gardens park.
There are 36 factors that affect the tides, from the Earth's proximity to the sun and the moon to the moon's angle in relation to the equator, said Richard Strickland, who teaches oceanography at the University of Washington.
Every 19 years, those factors line up just so - creating the lowest low tides and the greatest differences between low and high tides, he said. Virtually everywhere outside of the tropics will have seen the lowest low tides in 19 years between about Friday and Sunday, he said.

Thanks. I saw that headline on The Dallas Morning News site over
the weekend but didn't get around to reading that one. Interesting.

Nothing to fear. It was just Aurora on a high speed re-entry.
