Catch the Northern Lights TONIGHT

Details

Let's get out into the dark night to try to catch the Northern Lights!
There is a strong chance of Northern Lights show tonight. On Friday, there was a strong Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun that lasted 3 hours! Space weather forecasters are warning of a strong (G3) geomagnetic storm, with a chance it could reach severe (G4) levels tonight. If all things align, this might be an amazing show! (For comparison, last year, before the May 10th show, we were on a G5 storm watch.)

We will be about 1.5 hours travel time from Seattle on a beach in the dark area, facing north. Charge your phone/camera, juice up your car, and bring something comfortable to sit on. When we go, we usually stay out for a bit. Warm blanket/clothes recommended, as we will be on the coast.

Meet at the Edmonds Ferry Dock terminal for the 9:05pm ferry. After that, it's a short ride to a location on the coast. (Return back via Kingston Ferry, Bainbridge Ferry, or drive - all about 1.5hrs travel time from Seattle).

We will coordinate via a WhatsApp here:
