Northern lights could appear across Canada as "severe" geomagnetic storm nears
The most severe geomagnetic storm of the past 20 years is expected to hit Earth on Friday night, which could impact power grid systems, navigation and radio and satellite communication.
But the upside to this rare event is that Canadians across the country may be able to see a spectacular display of aurora borealis.
The U.S.'s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which tracks space weather events, is anticipating that northern lights could be seen as far south as northern California and Alabama. The geomagnetic storm may last throughout the weekend.
Global's Ross Hull reports on this phenomenal event.

Haha funny! It's actually not cool anymore bc scientists found that earths magnetic field is reversing that could cause it to disappear for a couple days or months
Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country?!

No one has caught on yet, but soon it won't be something we will be able to hide much longer. Northern lights being seen below the 49th parallel was an event seen once every 20 years or so. Last year it happened 6 times. The news is trying to sell it as normal now. And it's not to do with the sun getting more out of hand. Solar cycles have been getting weaker since the 80's. Our Magnetosphere is rapidly getting weaker because of the ongoing magnetic excursion. You have about 10 to 20 years left where you can enjoy electricity.

Electrifying. Thanks for the heads up.
I read that about every 10,000 years a truly massive one hits, a cataclysmic one.
Don't worry, you'll all see it, there are actually now 6, full Halo, CME's on their way and one has just hit us already. This is just the beginning, it'll be a sporty weekend, hope you took out cash. This isn't going to end on Saturday, it takes up to and about 3 days travel time from the sun for the bulk to hit us, as I'm watching NOAA all night, we've had at least two more CMEs, full Halo, on their way. So, this, as I said, is just beginning, our grids are going to continue to take hits for at least the next three days.

We are more used to it because it happens more often. Northern lights seen south of the 49th parallel was an event that would happen once every 20 years. Last year we had 6 such events. And no, the Sun is not getting more out of hand. The solar cycles have been weakening since the 80s. It's not a conspiracy. It's just a fact that are in an ongoing magnetic excursion. Which causes the magnetosphere to weaken.
One hell of a year

Sweet. No cloud cover in my area tonight, can't wait. 😊
Cool! Sad I couldn't see it because of the clouds
We’ve seen them as far south as southern Arizona!
We see those all the time in the country...
Yeah, my whole family got to see them all across BC. And all the neighbours got out to see too. If you had a niece phone. It would capture the pictures even better than you could see them with the naked eye. It was the best colour display I had ever seen. Here in Victoria.
Seymour Skinner has his fingers crossed 🤞
They were amazing last night in Nova Scotia.
Not to forget the other far less celestial wonder, the Boris's Areolas!
I just went outside and I could see it
was it visible in Halifax??
There are now 7 Halo cme's released heading our way. 3 @ KP8-9 and the latest is KP5.8 We'll be experiencing the high speed electromagnetic charged particles bombarding the upper atmosphere from the 10 through to the 13 at least ... perhaps the 14th as well. The waves are close and may combine but its not a kill shot.

So this will interfere with satellites, aviation etc….
Any display of the northern lights that isn't bright enough to be seen in the city isn't worth getting out of bed to see. At work I would keep an eye on the night sky as a major geomagnetic storm would mean we would have to stop drilling and I'd get the night off. If you looking to see them go to the centre of a park, if there is a good display you'll see them.
Luckily I have a very big tinfoil hat
Texas and Costa Rica seen them. You can’t predict crap

Addressing climate change takes precedence over mitigating the potential impact of a solar flare on the grid. Constructing lead enclosures around critical grid infrastructure could effectively solve the issue at a reasonable cost, yet this solution remains largely unexplored.
