We were definitely in the soup through last night:

I mean how many damn years lately have we been stuck with La Nina too?

Some more shots I took from May 10th, 2024 that I never went through:

I was hoping this would be the year for a 6 inch plus event but I am not so optimistic now.

To compare this most recent event to May 10th, 2024 is impossible as that one was in a class of its own and likely was once in a generation (strongest since 1989). Here are some of the shots I took in Orange County North Carolina outside of Hillsborough during that event.

My shots from 11/11/2025 in Raleigh, NC: And then the lousy aerial from 11/12:

Night 2 of the aurora although much fainter:

thank you!

I did as well but at home I got this lousy drone shot with city light pollution in Raleigh and faint reds:

Anyone have any luck up there?

Kp dropped below 5 so there is that lol. I think we are cooked.

Yep now we need a boost in the Kp

Yeah I am going to give it a chance on a remote possibility.

Bad news: THE THIRD CME HAS ARRIVED (UPDATED): The highly-anticipated 3rd CME has arrived. It struck Earth's magnetic field at approximately 1917 UTC on Nov. 12th. Our first impression of the impact: It was not strong enough to cause a repeat of last night's extreme aurora display. We are downgrading our storm forecast from category G4 (severe) to G2/G3 (moderate/strong). Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

Yeah often times the much hyped additional round never works out.
