So anyone else see it?

After spending 3 days and nights freezing my ass off in northern Norway last March hoping to catch a glimpse and not seeing a thing, its puts in a spectacular appearance on the road to Drogheda last night.

It was deadly by the way ....

big-ass solar flare pointing right at the earth, apparently. more due tonight.

yeah there was some big sunspot/explosions stuff going on over the last day or two. It should be visible tonight but its gonna be cloudy so probably wont be visible. And you have to get out of the city to see anything anyway ...

Dagnammit, I didn't even know it was happening. Couldn't see much from inside my cosmo haze but must have a look out for it tonight.

That sun storm thing was a bit scary though. yeesss.

Yeah I can imagine. Any place the electricity grid hasn't penetrated to yet is bound to be good.

Go figure.

congratulations for being the only person ever to have said such a thing about palmerstown

Few place names in Ireland describe the activities of the inhabitants better than Palmerstown.

However, Strokestown does come to mind.
