Not visible here. We clouded up again. Maybe the next couple days since we have another incoming.
Yes—90% chance during the day to come and 70% the next day according to the NOAA. We’ll see. I haven’t seen anything else, yet. There’s also a nasty smoke haze falling here because of an inversion. ...wildfires way to the west of here.
I’m only at about 39 degrees latitude. But sometimes, the lack of atmosphere at this high elevation allows for seeing the lights to the north. Lack of artificial lights also helps. Haven’t seen any really bright and lasting ones since 2003, though.
Seeing 6 volts from the PV modules on the charge controller here, BTW—higher potential than normally seen on summer nights. About 1 volt or a little less has been the norm for warmer weather, a little more during winter. There might be something to what steve86 was saying. I didn’t think to look at the controller earlier, when we might have been getting more of a blast. Not getting a charge, of course.
No wireless disruption here, BTW. Getting the usual higher speed of the off-hours between here and a repeater about 22 miles away. But except for the modules, all of the power and communications components are shielded with aluminum.
From 2008 in re. geophysics, GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, and University of Copenhagen, also with a mention of increased effects from coronal mass ejections.
