  1. Like you said, we're waiting for a substorm. Even with the 6 hours of Kp 9 in 2003, the actual show lasted maybe an hour before reverting to the bland green arc along the horizon.
  2. Bz is measured a million miles out in space at the L1 point, and Kp is derived from how disturbed a global network of ground level magnetometers are. A lower Bz will allow a greater disruption of the earths magnetic field and the Kp will rise as a result.
  3. Still, it's good enough to go back to a Kp of 8 apparently.
  4. Things holding steady in meh territory. Took a photo of the west through a hole in the clouds, about 45 degrees above the horizon, and it's violet. There is likely a greenish arc lower on the northern horizon hidden behind the squalls. Damn squalls are 10 miles away and I'm getting wind blown snow from them.
  5. It's basically the aurora light switch. If the value is north (positive) nobody sees anything except santa.
  6. That period of higher density and lower Bz from an hour ago should be here by now. Too bad these troll squalls won't leave me alone.
  7. God damn Bz trying to pull its usual well timed flip. Maybe it'll level out.
  8. Density is going back up. Everything looks primed for a big show well down into the mid atlantic.
  9. That not-so-perfect period a few hours ago led to the slight kp drop. Bt is climbing and Bz is dropping. Looks really good. Wouldn't be surprised if it went back to 8, just need the density to stop dropping.
  10. I see you've invaded the quiet sanctuary of my profile to attack me with some merciless date format trolling. Just brutal.

  11. I know trees... the bark is smooth and flawless and shows no evidence of cracking or being bent... the odds of it splitting or pulling apart and then magically sealing back up around the hose with no obvious stress fractures are pretty much zero. The hose would prevent the crack from being able to close back up so tightly.
  12. lol... that hose wouldn't have gone through the tree unless fired out of the large hadron collider. I've seen more than enough ropes, vines and other objects embedded in trees to know what it looks like. The bark is unblemished and the hose is pinched tight... it's probably been there for many years. The rope I tied to a small maple tree to hang a bird feeder way back in middle school is now fully engulfed and up probably 30 feet.
  13. Correct and incorrect... the brick red in the key isn't even sorta close to being the same color shown in the map. You can use the color identifier in any image editor to verify the difference. It's because they made the colors on the map somewhat transparent so you can see the streets underneath, which is why they're not as dark.
  14. I just knew there was something really fishy about that picture. This makes much more sense.
