Sorry folks, I know this is the dog board but I wanted to share with you an amazing thing happening now in Michigan...
I was coming home from picking Graham up at my moms house after seeing the movie K-PAX and I stop because there is something rather creepy going on in the sky. I watch it thinking, "oh my gosh, there must have been a big star that exploded and it is shooting debris into our atmosphere because there are these streaks of pink/orange and white going down, instead of the usual horizontal coulds...these strange clouds were going vertical, almost like it was raining clouds. I watched for quite awhile and I felt that it was very beautiful but I had never seen anything like it before. I called my mom (she is south of me) and she saw just a little bit of strange looking pinkish color but not the intense pink/orange and horizontal white clouds that I saw...and with every second it seemed to change. I called the local news station (wkrk Fox 2 news) for the first time ever...I barely got a word out and the gentelman asked me if I was calling about the lights in the sky....I said yes and he said that I was seeing THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!!
I sat outside until my toes felt went numb from the cold! I shivered and stood on my balcony and watched the lights in awe, and watched them change form and color. It is worth trying to see them if you can...you may not be able to see them where you are at, but my goodness if you are reading this now, take a walk outside and look up just in case you will be able to see this. It's amazing.
My gosh, how cool that I just came home from the movie K-PAX and here I am seeing the sky in a whole new way
Sorry to post on the dog board again...I just really hope at least someone reads this tonight and walks outside and can see what I have seen

it's no fair!!! ...and i have never seen the NL in my whole life. ...and i live more north than you.
We were in Canada a couple years ago and I just got the white of the Northern Lights. But I did get to see the colored ribbons when I was a teenager. It is a memory I will always cherish and it is very spectacular. Your post brought it all back to me again! Thanks for sharing and don't apolagize. It's nice getting off the subject once and a while.
