Texas, that's impressive. Could it have been the radiation storm in -89 that knokced out communication satellites and power supplies?

Re: AURORA alert
IMO, the best place to look for aurora forecasts for the Northern hemisphere is the webpage of University of Alaska at Fairbanks. http://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/~pfrr/aurora/INDEX.HTM If you click custom maps you get forecasts localised to 15 degrees longitude sectors.

OT: Sun Cycles (was Re: aurora alert)

We're approximately a year past the peak right now. There seems to be suspicion in parts of the astronomical community that eleven isn't quite right and the cycle is actually 22, 44, or 88 years long. I don't believe that we've been able to do accurate measurements for all that long, like maybe a bit over a hundred years, so we might not have tracked even one complete cycle, yet.
