SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:

https://spaceweather.com/

Arriving earlier than expected, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field today, April 23rd, at 1737 UT. The impact sparked a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm with auroras in Europe sighted as far south as France. The storm is still going on and could produce auroras over the USA after nightfall. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

"My pulse is still racing!" says Heiko Ulbricht, who watched the aurora show from Saxony, Germany. "There were bright green spots dancing across the sky all the way up to the zenith." This is what he saw:

"I still can't breathe," he says. "This was a display not to be forgotten."

The auroras were so bright, they could be seen even from brightly-lit urban areas. Thomas Hunger sends this report from Berlin, Germany: "I run Northern Lights tours in Tromsø, Norway, but would have never dreamt of seeing auroras from my home town of Berlin. I stepped on the balcony and enjoyed a sight that in a city of 4 million inhabitants might just have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Tomasz Adam had a similar experience in Kraków, Poland: "I saw auroras for the first time in my life," he says. "My photo might not look like much, but I took it from Kraków - one of the most light polluted cities of Poland."
