MAGNETIC STORM: A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress. It began at
approximately 0800 UT on Nov. 20th when a coronal mass ejection swept
past Earth. Auroras have been sighted as far south as Alabama and
Arizona in the United States and Greece in Europe.

I can not see anything from my location in town but it looks as
though the Rosemary Hill ConCam is picking up aurora to the north at
lat 30N, lon 82.5E
