The Earth is the midst of the strongest magnetic storm since 2003 caused by a strong solar flare that sent a coronal mass ejection away from the sun and toward Earth. Basically the sun burped a mass of charged particles that are now intersecting with our magnetic field. Something called the planetary K index is now at 5 which means the northern lights may be as far south as Michgan http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/kp.html If the storm intensifies any more, we may...MAY...be able to see them later tonight.

Bill meck has a great sense of humor and way of talking about the weather, he also has said several times that man made global warming is BS. I wonder why a majority of weathermen don't buy in to the made-made global warming story.
