I saw visible Aurora to my NNW between 2325 11/20/03 and 0040 UTC 11/21/03. I'm located in west central Florida in Plant City, latitude 27 58 31.44N 82 09 51.98 W. The visible Aurora had a pinkish red color and was best visible to my NNW. Earlier the Kp index had reached a 9 which is a severe geomagnetic storm.
Tuning around the MF AM broadcast band this evening it's very auroral with few signals coming into the north and big signals from Central and South America as well as from the Caribbean. 73, Thomas F.
