You've been had. You've been took. You've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok. - Malcolm X

While the aurora borealis (northern lights) aren't a stranger to the skies over Seattle, a brilliant eight-hour display as occurred on Sunday night/Monday morning isn't usual. That night, people in North America as far south as Oklahoma and the Carolinas saw the aurora as a result of a major geomagnetic storm. While that storm has diminished, there is still a chance to see the northern lights tonight in the northern tier of the lower 48 states, as well as in Canada and Alaska.
The Seattle Times has a slideshow of aurora pictures taken on Nov. 7 from around the US here. More pictures are here at spaceweather.com.
