[NICK R]

Britain should experience spectacular Northern Lights displays from Thursday due to a large solar storm which could disrupt communication networks, the British Geological Survey said

now that will be some sight

And now for some satire, not on Nicks post, just how it may get used, thats the solar storm.

I saw them in canada in 2008, very spectacular although not as good I imagine as Alaska or the north pole ect

[NICK R]

How long will they be visable?? May take a drive later to see if i can get a look. To much light pollution in the towns.
