87 416-8 horse 420 #1 Posted May 10 (edited) Saw this on the news app earlier and I thought some of you might find it interesting. Most of the USA should be able to see it with their naked eye or with a camera. They said “The storm will be strengthening from 10 p.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday, but the best time to see them will likely be from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. Saturday. The lights would likely fade again between 4 and 7 a.m. Saturday.” This is in central time. Edited May 10 by 87 416-8 horse 2 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have a camera that works well at night but you get the idea. North: Northeast: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
