Oh, seeing the aurora is #1 on my bucket list! Not much chance of seeing therm here in Florida. I asked my brother if he'd go to Alaska with me for my 50th birthday. His voice just lit up, and then he said... but your birthday is in February! :shock: And he lives in Montana!
DH looks at me like I'm insane. I don't care. What's a little cold and snow in the face of that much beauty??

I was just checking the weather and this showed up as a news item. I was surprised to find the lights were as far south as Georgia.

You may not believe this, but it is true.
About 7 years ago, in early Novembeer one night, we here in Illinois could see Northern Lights.
At about 11:30 pm I went out at the home I did home care in to see them.
The Eastern sky was a masterpiece. The rainbow in like a watershed pattern from as high as I could see to the horizon. With the colors outlined with streaks of light blue and also the dark starry sky. In the center was the shape of a bird in flight racing down to Earth outlined in the light blue and broke up the rainbow. The bird was all red, orange and light blue around it.
It was magnificent. Never seen anything like it--oh hey, I had witnesses who saw it too, and none of us were on anything either. I pinched myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming.
