[NLRS] STRONG aurora tonight...

[Jon Platt]

 There is a website somewhere that shows induced ground current.  I looked at it yesterday and our area showed a potential of 5 volts per km.  I have never seen that information before so I am curious to see if I can find that website again.  You could see where long and conductive railroad tracks would be interesting in this environment.

 It is indeed a strong storm. The railroad tracks are "hot."I live 150ft from the BNSF tracks going to Willmar. When a train passed by an hour ago (10:45pm) I could hear the cars trucks noising up HF and was constant until the train had solidly moved passed. This is not a normal experience. 
Wonder how the power grid is doing...
