In the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003 red auroras were seen in Florida. EXCERPT: "Despite the tricks played on our technological systems, the Great Halloween Solar Storms of 2003 also gave us a treat. The extreme and prolonged geomagnetic storms brought widespread middle and even low latitude aurorae with them on October 29 and 30. Aurora sightings occurred from California to Texas to Florida. People in Australia, central Europe, and even as far south as the Mediterranean countries also reported tremendous aurora viewing." https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/great-halloween-solar-storm-2003

Read the comparison between the Halloween storms and the Carrington Event. Some said it has been as intense as the 1958 or 59 (not sure bout the exact year anymore ... that's what strong solar storms are doing to me. They start to 'fry' my brain, haha). What a blast to be witness of an extreme storm like this. Tc Eve |
