1. Oh my! This Northern Lights fan thanks you!

Absolutely glorious! The wonders of Nature never fail to amaze and comfort me. Have been watching Orion trek his way across the universe for a few weeks now. Never fail to tell him what a blessing he is.

5. You've never seen them?

6. Nope. I moved here in 2004, and every time there has been

a chance it's been cloudy. Before, I lived in California, and never had them appear that far south. One day, I'll get the opportunity, though, I'm sure. It's one of the few natural phenomena I've yet to see. Bucket list item. If I get too old, I'll fly somewhere just for that purpose when a spectacular display is predicted if I don't see one before then.

7. i was lucky enough to see the auroras 2 times valet car parking

in the suburbs of chicago, lots of light pollution but still impressive, then one time in far northwest wisconsin away from the cities and holy shit it was a sight. if you keep living in the north you will see one eventually

3. Living in Cleveland we never get to see these celestial delights

Always too cloudy, otherwise with the lake to the north, we should be able to see this stuff.
