[Tweeters] Northern Lights Now

[Jerry Tangren via Tweeters]

It was unbelievable on Badger Mtn in Douglas Co. last night. Apparently, it was a „once in a lifetime“ explosion from the sun that occurs only every 40 to 60 years. The roads on Badger were clogged with what must have been half the population of Wenatchee.

Tweeters,
I went outside at 1:30 AM and found the Aurora Borealis- bright, and covering much of the sky from directly above to North and east. Also at times all the way to the Seattle skyline.
Mostly greens and at times red.
Less bright and less movement by 2:30.
Even with some house lights in our neighborhood on Mercer Island.
At other locations in darkness, must have been fantastic!
But very impressive even here.
Would love to be at Mt Baker or Mt Rainier-Paradise right now.
Should be many great photos by others in dark places with long exposures by photographers later today on the news or online.
Let’s hope for more in the next few days.
