Seriously, I'm starting to feel like the kid in Ray Bradbury's All Summer In A Day. Seeing the aurora has been a lifetime bucket list item, we're getting solar storms as big, if not bigger than the Carrington Event, and CLOUD COVER EVERY FREAKING TIME.
Friday night I consoled myself by saying we were just too far south, regardless of the cloud cover - AND THEN I SAW PICTURES FROM ALABAMA.
Then last night, local weather was saying "pre-dawn" and the aurora apps were saying max activity at 5AM. I set an alarm! 4:30AM-5:30AM - app tells me zero chance of seeing it! Turns out it hit between 12:30-1:00AM - right when we were having a storm roll through...so at least I didn't actually miss anything.
We may have one last chance tonight - the cloud cover will be low, KP could get to 8 - maybe tonight?? I am now the person with three aurora alert apps on my phone.
I have so loved seeing all the photos and videos, but I am so insanely jealous.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE FANCY SKY.
