eyewall

I was hoping this would be the year for a 6 inch plus event but I am not so optimistic now.

To compare this most recent event to May 10th, 2024 is impossible as that one was in a class of its own and likely was once in a generation (strongest since 1989). Here are some of the shots I took in Orange County North Carolina outside of Hillsborough during that event.

My shots from 11/11/2025 in Raleigh, NC: And then the lousy aerial from 11/12:

Night 2 of the aurora although much fainter:

thank you!

I did as well but at home I got this lousy drone shot with city light pollution in Raleigh and faint reds:

Anyone have any luck up there?

Kp dropped below 5 so there is that lol. I think we are cooked.

Yep now we need a boost in the Kp

Yeah I am going to give it a chance on a remote possibility.

Bad news: THE THIRD CME HAS ARRIVED (UPDATED): The highly-anticipated 3rd CME has arrived. It struck Earth's magnetic field at approximately 1917 UTC on Nov. 12th. Our first impression of the impact: It was not strong enough to cause a repeat of last night's extreme aurora display. We are downgrading our storm forecast from category G4 (severe) to G2/G3 (moderate/strong). Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

Yeah often times the much hyped additional round never works out.

Yeah the motto is if the Bz doesn't flip you won't see shit.

Yeah with that Bz you won't see anything unless it flips negative.

CME is about to hit within 20-30 minutes as of this post.
