ReconRat Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I get email alerts when the Alaskan GeoPhysical Institute detects high activity of Aurora displays from solar events. This is a fairly active five on a scale of zero to nine. Some will be visible from Ohio, or over Ohio, if lucky. Currently forecasted extreme for the next hour, but it's still daylight out.From this website:http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecastedit: These don't happen very often. This is only the first or second alert sent for the Ohio area this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 All I saw were the back of my eyelids but there's little probability I could have seen anything from where I live anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
