Default A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress -- Look for aurora

I have placed a short movie of the start of the night ... aurora is
clearly visible tonight (compare with last night) in NNE.

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
