St. Patrick's Day Solar Storm Sets Off Green Northern Lights - NBC News.com
NBC News reports: "A massive solar storm is bombarding Earth now, and it could supercharge
the northern lights to offer a better chance of seeing dancing green
auroras just in time for St. Patrick's Day, weather permitting.
The surprisingly strong solar storm — ranked as a G4 geomagnetic storm
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather
Prediction Center — could trigger brilliant auroras for people in dark
areas as far south as Tennessee on Tuesday night if the space storm
continues."
