Gee THANKS Kevin!

Mention seeing the Aurora WAY down south and rub it in why dontcha! Here
we're having earth directed coronal mass ejections on a weekly basis. The
last one so big it's visible in S. Texas and here I sit in nice DARK Meadow
Lakes AK. miles from light pollution and it's been overcast for every one!
One clear night several days after the first (little #2) ejection and the
aurora here was so bright and active there were shadows dancing on the
ground. Overcast and rainy solid since the recent large (#4) ejection though
it was only foggy a few days afterwards and you could see the aurora as hazy
lights THROUGH the fog!

I just heard on the news tonight there was another even bigger coronal mass
ejection, off the scale this time so they're calling it a coronal explosion.
And . . . oh . . . yeah! It's forcast for rain and maybe snow (good news if
it happens) for the forseeable future! <GRRRRRR>
