I've never posted an image like this before, the colours are mental! My husband lit the Longstone with a torch as the sky erupted in pinks and greens. This is in the darkest part of the Island which is campaigning for Dark Skies Status, so there was no light pollution.
The colours were visible to the naked eye.

FYI everyone:

we're getting the largest geomagnetic storm in 19 years in a few hours

it could impact #GPS, the #powergrid and maybe the #internet

tiny chance

it's rated a G4

we had a G5 in 2003 and it caused power outages in Sweden and damaged transformers in South Africa

on the plus side:

#auroraborealis!

visible as far south as Alabama possibly
