Here’s one way to end the year on a bright note.
A powerful solar storm set to slam Earth today will make for stunning views of the Northern Lights just before New Year’s Eve. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said the “strong” storm could allow the Northern Lights to dip as far south as Oregon and Illinois.
NOAA classifies solar storms on a scale of one to five (one being the weakest; five being the most severe). Today’s storm is forecast to be a G3 event, meaning it could have the strength to cause fluctuations in some power grids, intermittent radio blackouts in higher latitudes and possible GPS issues.

oh good,
You mean I’ve wasted my time cooking all day for tomorrow night?
How come we didn’t get a robo call from our Mayor on this? I guess will drive up to the information sign at the train station to get future instructions
If it cooks the power grid we could have problems.
What do I do with all the shrimp I bought?
