A report from Chester, UK, by Tom Teague said that a bright diffuse red glow was visible, with many broad rays orientated roughly north-south. Some narrower, more concentrated rays with a greenish tinge were also seen. They started at 1900 GMT and they looked like Jacob's Ladders coming down to the horizon. They were pale green with streaks of red that was quite unusual. It was ghostly.
Beams are everywhere.
At one point, everything merged overhead, and staring up at it was like staring into some kind of pink wormhole - unbelievable. It is expected that this storm will continue for the next 24-36 hours. The so-called geomagnetic storm may affect electrical power systems, spacecraft operations, and communications and navigation systems.
