Tonight was a good night here in southwest Ohio! I cannot believe I got to witness this twice in a year.

Spectacular imagery (though I'm not sure I want to look at close-ups of our neighborhood nuclear power center very often 
):
It did impact us (per SWPC, too) --
-- but not in a May or October 2024 major way. However, it will be facing us for a while...

Just posted; no word from other sources yet (and most of the tweet is over my head): "...In a nutshell, what all this means is that NOAA and NASA have underpredicted the impact of this coming storm. It could easily be a G3-level or higher, *IF* the observations from Solar Orbiter are any indication. Also, this storm will arrive between early to midday October 28 UTC time!"

There are times when it's good not to be on the receiving end. I don't know how this would have affected us but it probably would go beyond auroras.

An active region has rotated to face us again. From tweets, it sounds like the two events that led to this storm won't spark a May or October-style show, but an eye/lens on the sky Thanksgiving night, weather permitting, might be warranted:

It doesn't sound as though the geomagnetic storm is likely to cause aurora in mid-latitudes on New Year's Eve, but this might be something to keep an eye on for the 1st (NOAA says they might upgrade that one):
