UPDATE: Now a 5.7. The depth is around 34 km so looks to be a deep one.

It will take it years to pass through our solar system.....it cant have returned because it has not left.
Here we go again.
Omgsh. I'm already stressing about these sob's. They are already back. Tiny babies. Had one on my arm and several on my golf cart. A tree fell on the fence in the woods and as I was walking to it, I saw webs all over. Not the big ones but little strands all over sparkling in the sun. It's them. What the hell we gona do? I'm waiting for an article that someone is understanding this is not normal, seriously eradicating them and giving me hope with this nightmare. Not the same old thing from UGA that "they are here to stay" bs. This year I'm gona take pics to show how many are around here. 1000's in clusters. Never good when too much of something. Urggg
Horrific! Prayers for those still in the water 
UPDATE: Downgraded to a 4.7 but still wow.
4.4 aftershock.

“Herd” that Chris Christy stumbled and fell around 10:37AM. Coincidence 
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I’m including this here. As much as some want to make it political right now, it is not and has been in the works for years. I’ve been talking about it for a while and my advice is if you have a well switch to it. If you have to rely on municipal water/sewer, expect both bills to increase substantially over the next ten years. Plan it long term in your budget.

Biden administration imposes first-ever national drinking water limits on toxic PFAS
The Biden administration on Wednesday finalized strict limits on certain so-called “forever chemicals” in drinking water that will require utilities to reduce them to the lowest level they can be reliably measured. The rule is the first national drinking water limit on toxic PFAS, or...

Ruang volcano in Indonesia yesterday
Terrible news from Charlotte today. A US Marshal task force was trying to serve a warrant and three US Marshals were killed. Four other task members were shot and four Charlotte PD officers were also shot.

They aren’t this bright to the naked eye but definitely visible.

Two taken from my house. Other one is from a mountain about 35 min from Chatt. Then the next from a friend in downtown Chatt. Can’t remember seeing this in my lifetime here. 42.

Everyone is seeing the northern lights around here tonight. All I really see is a red tint in the sky but the phone camera really picks it up. Wild

Send me a pic with the northern lights bouncing off the snowpack!
Incredible what we saw tonight. To make it even better was the shooting stars that were very visible crossing the Aurora. This was always on my bucket list and to see this in Alabama was a treat.

I didn't even realize until too late that people were seeing this well in the south and even further south than I am.
Gonna probably give looking for the aurora a go when the sun sets tonight as apparently there's a second chance.

I read an article that said that this morning. I missed it last night too!
Sadly The K-index for tonight is only at a 7 which classifies as a G3.

I just finished an article that said the strongest yet.....this from "Space Weather.com" "Giant sunspot AR3664 unleashed another X-flare today (May 11th @ 0139 UT)--its strongest yet. The X5.8-class explosion produced a significant CME with an Earth-directed component...: This CME could reach Earth on May 13th, adding new power to the ongoing geomagnetic storm. "
Last night over performed so who knows. It’s such a once in a lifetime thing down here I doubt it.

The other thing that helped last night was that it was extremely clear with the cold front having passed through. More clouds in my area this evening.

Ok, so I wasn't even trying at the moment about 5 minutes ago (went outside to see how things look, and it's mostly clear), and I think I saw the aurora. Was looking in the opposite direction from the sunset (and I guess to the north), and I saw a pinkish hue in the sky, and just under it was kind of a darker shade of blue.
Unfortunately, didn't take my phone with me, will head out a bit later with it completely dark with it, and hopefully I'm not crazy.
Edit: Ok, probably crazy. Still find the way the sky was colored in the opposite direction to the sunset interesting though and I'm likely going to head outside again near sunset tomorrow.

Yeah Friday night significantly overperformed the predictions.
Unbelievable. I was out at around 9 pm Friday night, i think near the peak here, maybe a few minutes after. Not just red on the horizon, but pink red and green, directly overhead and even towards the south of me. And all visible withe the naked eye in the middle of city light pollution and with the moon out.

Was looking for conspiracy theory thread. Weather warfare? If viewed as political feel free to delete.
