Solar storm -- possbile aurora?
Folks in the far north probably already know this, but there's a storm coming. The news focuses mostly on the disruption to GPS, but there are some mentions of auroral activity: CNBC news item ...

Was unaware of this event taking place...
Skies were clear for the last two days in my area, was mostly clear in Anchorage on Tuesday the 13th as I had to go there for one day only (first day missing work all summer long), and driven 782 miles there and back in a 22 hr and 45 min span (and was 75% dark thru the Alaska Range on the return portion of the trip).
Still did not see any activity within this Anchorage to Fairbanks latitude during this whole week, however - in my area at N64.9 latitude, it doesn't get dark until the first week of August (11 weeks of darkless summer here).
