    Hey all, I just got this message from skywatch.com:
    Increased Solar activity has triggered a massive geomagnetic storm
    around
    the Earth causing auroras (northern lights) to appear in far more
    southerly
    locations than usual. An aurora was seen as far south as Arizona.

    You need a very dark sky to see an aurora. If you’re lucky enough to be
    in
    such a location, take a look towards the northern horizon and you might
    get
    to see an aurora. (If you are south of the equation, looks towards the
    south.)
    Just wanted to pass on the news to any who are interested.

    We've seen it a few times over the past week in mid/northern ohio. The first night we saw it (monday, perhaps?) it was the most active display of lights I have ever witnessed in Ohio. There were subtle hints of blue and red in a band of light that stretched far across the sky, just above the horizon. But overhead the displays were amazing. There was so much activity that it made the sky shimmer, like a wave of light passing overhead.

    Cheesy descriptions, but it definately was a great show.

    At my parents' house out in rural West Tennessee, we can see them through the winter.

    Tanimadigin insanlara durup dururlen niye küfür ediyosun puþt, ananý siktim de para mý vermedim, sana giren çýkan ne? Nerde senin gibi ezik ibne var, beni bulur zaten.

    Ýngilizceni de sikiym. Bush'a oy veren elin de Ohio sakinleriyle beraber götüne girsin.
