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.

Sure is. We had a monster aurora about 3:50 am last night that spiked
at about 4:20 am. Bright greens, reds, towering shafts of light to
nearly 45 deg. off the northern horizon.

Quite a show...
