Northern Lights seen across western Massachusetts

So if you looked up at the night sky tonight, then you probably saw the northern lights make an appearance. A powerful eruption from the sun supercharged the northern lights, making colorful sky shows visible as far as south as Alabama, northern California and even here in western Massachusetts. We received dozens of pictures of the northern lights this evening. This week's solar storm is the most severe since May 10th when the Space Weather Prediction Center observed an even stronger and much more rare solar storm before the May event. Noah had not issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch since 2005. So let's bring in 22 news from team meteorologist Brian Lapis with the latest forecast a bright night out there tonight. Yeah, pretty amazing. You know, I've been here for 28 years now and to see this many northern lights episodes in such a short amount of time time is really unheard of. And we were seeing the northern lights just about everywhere today. Nicholas Shea was kind of walking down the street in Palmer and caught this picture of the northern lights over a graveyard.
