Some guy whose hobby is chasing tornados around the plains states shot these photos the other night from a little town not far from where we lived in Nebraska.
Typically, the aurora borealis don't show so far south, but a massive solar storm last week really piled on the electrons. And they were oppositely charged from the spin of the earth so it made it all the better. In my early yoot in Dakota I remember lying in the back seat of my dad's car as he drove on the highway at night in the winter, watching the lights in the sky , like enormous curtains of shape-shifting flourescence. I remember them a lot like these photos.

Glad you enjoyed the shots. I wish I was there to see them. I have never yet experienced the aurora borealis. Guess we need to go north more often.
