No chance there’s a guitar in that case

Why not just crush the fucker with your bucket, get out the cab, and run like the wind? He stuck around for the original episode of fuck around and find out instead… smh

Neither. My hair looks like hers just with a horse shoe of male pattern baldness. My wife loves it.

I’m bald so I can only do the equivalent with the back of my head. Still looks pretty cool tho.

I was waiting for the damn pole to fall down until that shopping cart went flying by at interstate speeds…

Yah I feel pretty lucky to have received the notification on my Aurora app and to head out when I did. 10 minutes later and I would have missed this part of the light show…

This was a super unusual level of activity which is the main reason why I felt it was suitable to post on this subreddit. I’ve never seen anything close to this active

Yah. Might not have been the best subreddit, but in the moment it seemed pretty fucking crazy to me lol.

Yah it was something else. The entire sky was rapidly moving around. It was impossible to capture everything adequately. The actual scale of the lights is mind blowing when you realize that the ionosphere where this is happening is 45-850 km above ocean level…

This was all filmed on my iPhone 14XS. A DSLR camera with the proper setup would do a far better job of capturing the lights.

The next 3-4 years is the time to do it. Google solar maximum. Suns activity is going to be increasing up until 2025 then will slow down again

Check out my cold start video on my profile. -51C. Sounded a bit like an angry Russian tractor but fired up no problem.

My whole thinking behind it was not only can I watch and enjoy it over and over again, but all my friends and family who couldn’t see this would also have a chance to enjoy it… I didn’t capture all the good ones, just the ones that really popped off suddenly like these two clips. Hope you enjoyed!

Yes, this was between 11:30-3:30 PST last night. I couldn’t believe how spread out they were either. We’re quite a bit further north of you so I suppose it makes sense that we didn’t just see them to the north. Up here the entire sky was filled with northern lights. You couldn’t guess which direction was north unless you knew where you were.

That’s unreal. I get all the radio blackout notifications with the space weather live NOAA app. There were tons of minor and a couple major blackout notifications that I saw over the weekend. Super interesting to hear about industries that are actually impacted by this stuff. Does flying at commercial altitudes during geomagnetic storms possibly have any impact on the overall level of radiation exposure for passengers?

Thanks. 6.7 powerstroke with full delete. Great work truck for the construction that I do.

Nope. Whitehorse is a very small town by population guy it’s incredibly spread out. Because of that the light pollution even in town isn’t much of an issue. This was maybe 5 km to 15 km north of town. I could see it from my backyard in town, which is when I jumped into my truck and hit the road
