Dizzy or fuzzy brain incoming.
Today’s strong G3-class geomagnetic storm has just intensified to category G4 (Severe). This means mid- to low-latitude auroras may be visible from any dark location on Earth. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
The ongoing storm is in response to multiple CME impacts on Aug, 10th, 11th and 12th. Last night, auroras were spotted in more than 30 US states as far south as Texas, Mississippi, Colorado and California. “Pulsating auroras hung over our heads for more than an hour,” reports Elżbieta Haftek, who sends this picture from Eden Prairie, Minnesota:

“The pillars of colors were easily seen from my backyard,” says Haftek. “I took these pictures using only my iPhone 14. It was so bright that even videos came out really vivid.”
Currently, the storm shows no signs of abating. Low-latitude auroras may be visible again during the night of Aug. 12-13. Stay tuned!
