Not good for Biden.

Hopefully there is not too much disruption to electronics.

For those of you in the most northern part of the 48, give us an update if you saw aurora borealis, and how visible it was in your area.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Let's hope it fries all of our technology and the internet and we all have to live like cavemen again.

I'll also be looking out. The sky is relatively clear here.

Charge your devices just in case!

Uh oh, Magneto, needs to chill out.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Good, please just take us out!

My buildings power went out for a few hours so at first I thought this was a big one and had an 'Oh sh!t moment', but it's back on now.

Supposedly, with G5 storms, an aurora can be viewed as far south as Florida and Southern Texas, which is crazy. From the sources I've seen we're likely to remain at a G4, but a low end G5 is possible.

We had a solar storm back in March and nothing happened.

[Sumner 1868]

Not good for Biden.

It's also terrible news for Ed Miliband.

There's reports of a chance of the northern lights being visible even in South Carolina but I just flew even further south so there's no way I'm seeing it.

Wasn't the Aurora Borealis famously visible from Singapore at some point in the 1910s?

That was actually the Aurora Australis, the Southern Lights, although the report of its being seen in Singapore is somewhat disputed.

It's believed that the southernmost sighting of the Aurora Borealis was in Honolulu in 1859.

Will I be okay if I apply lots of sunscreen and/or aloe vera?

Omelettes, eggs, etc.

Auroras have been seen across Portugal:

In my hometown it's cloudy so, no one can see anything.

Can you still see the Aurora Borealis in a region with light pollution?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Not good for Biden.

This will cost him Michigan. This will hit his credibility on electric vehicles and renewables. Trump will attack him for lost hours of solar power generation!

That was the Carrington Event, right?

There have been reports that it's been visible from London tonight, so yes.  But of course a darker sky will result in a better view.
