Maine and the Northern Lights that night was as incredible as the ones you see posted! (It was an X7 to an X15 depending on the source). It was shimmering and dancing green, pink, and blue as far as you could see. I was mesmerized! I don’t know what the intensity of tonight’s Aurora Borealis is expected to be.
I was looking at some biggies that were recorded - an X28 that kind of missed us in 2003 and it looks like the scale goes to 40 or 50 with the X scale being more intense than M scale (X1 is 10 times M1). Yowza!
I will never forget that night!!
