[NLRS] STRONG aurora tonight...

[WA2VOI, Donn]

SpaceWeather.com has it, and the URL of the source data 
(https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/geoelectric-field-models-1-minute).  As SpaceWeather 
explains, their image is/was adopted from the "real-time" source.

Very interesting.

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...

maybe worth getting north of town to get away from the city airglow.
