Supposed to be a very strong magnetic storm tonight. Maybe not as strong as the one Monday which let folks clear down to the southern U.S. see it.

We should have front row seats here on our trip to Ireland (latitude-wise we are halfway between Vancouver and Juno. However, we have mainly overcast skies so I'm not counting on much, darn it.

Hope some of you have some great fortune and catch it.

I hope you get a good show and get some pictures.

Best I have ever seen was on an island in upper Georgian Bay/Lake Superior and no cities any were within 40 miles. McGregor village shut down at dusk. 1961... Aurora North and South of us whipping and dancing in the pitch black sky. Unforgettable indeed.

Not my lucky night- woke up at midnight, 2 and 4 -- totally cloudy all night. All I accomplished was making myself tired and careless today. I stepped on a slippery rock, fell about 5 feet into a rocky stream with my camera under me. My 16-35 zoom doesn't want to zoom now. I'm testing some shots I took after the mishap and hope I at least have an ok 16mm left.

I sure hope everyone else is having better luck.
