On May 9, 2024, whisperings of a potential viewing of the Aurora Borealis began circulating across the Natural State. By the morning of May 10th, articles from news stations and weather channels featured prime viewing times and more details about the geomagnetic storm approaching and affecting the southern United States.
On a previous trip to Scotland in 2023, I downloaded the Aurora app on my phone. The app shares details of the KP levels, predictions for viewing, and a forecast that includes cloud cover. I obsessively checked this app last year and knew how to maneuver it. The Aurora app came in real handy on the evening of May 10, 2024.
To say I was stoked to see the Aurora Borealis is an understatement. We drove to an area we could see to the north and were immediately welcomed with a pink hue in the night sky. When we took a quick photo on the phone, the pink and green northern lights were on display.
We drove around the area to find a darker spot and were welcomed at each destination with brilliant colors. The experience still gives me goosebumps to think about.
Another bucket list item was marked off my list on a random night. Thank goodness for clear skies, geomagnetic storms, and an evening with my best buddy seeing an extraordinary event.
My hope is that you continue to find adventure and find excitement in the daily routine and in the pop-up events that randomly happen.
Be inspired + go.
