Aurora borealis

They were visible in TN last year. Was really cool. I want to go and see them further north some day where they are more vibrant. Jealous of you guys right now
 
Townsend, MT.

Is it just me or did at least two generations live when they could only bee seen near the arctic? Last 2-4 years they’ve been visible in lower 48 seemingly common now. iPhones sure help but still seems strange I lived 30 years never seeing them, my parents longer and I don’t think my grandparents ever saw them in Ohio in their 80 years of life.

My husband and I were just talking about this. He said this was never a thing growing up here, and the first time he saw them was when he went to Alaska. Never recalls his parents mentioning seeing them either.
 
My buddy in Clyde park sent me some wicked photos with no filter. All the shit in the capitol must keep the lights from making it to Townsend, never see em all that great here. Damn! woulda stayed out by east side of the belts this evening had I known.1409170140147537153.jpeg
