The tripple whammy is supposed to hit 7am tommorow morning. So Id say it
could still hit while dark in the am, but could still be strong that evening
too. Stay tuned to spaceweather.com for details.
Clear Skies,
Chris

Time to pull out the tin-foil hats :-).
Any estimates as to how long it will last? Kind of difficult to see the
aurora with the evening weather we're having :-(â?¦
