Spectacular Northern Lights were visible from Lorain last night, and a local photographer shared those images with MarkJWeather
LORAIN, Ohio — Lorain's Rob Campana captured a rare photo of the Aurora Borealis after noticing picture-perfect clear skies across Northern Ohio on Sunday evening. With the conditions appearing to be perfect, he checked his space weather phone app to see if we were in for a celestial light show.
The energy from a strong solar flare struck the earth, and those energy levels were rising. The possibility for an Aurora Borealis to be viewable as far south as Ohio was increasing quickly. "The first wave started at 9:30 p.m. and lasted until 11:30," he said."The second wave went from 1 o'clock until about 3:30 a.m. this morning."
Most of the time, the auroras are not strong enough to be seen in Ohio, but every so often a super strong solar flare will hit the earth with enough energy to produce bigger auroras viewable in our area."They are calling for strong aurora storms again tonight. But our conditions won't be good for viewing them," he said.So, for now, we will just have to watch Rob's great video instead.
