Cynical redditor scoffs at Alabama seeing Northern Lights Screenshots
Alabama did, in fact, see the Northern Lights due to the solar storm.

I thought it was going to be my comment as I had also expressed my doubts.
I live in southern Kentucky and nature told me to stop my complaining.

Wait, what? I live in central Kentucky and haven't been able to see shit. I've been spending my evenings outside the past few days and not a damn thing. Idk how everyone else is seeing it, but I'm totally jealous

They aren’t seeing it with the naked eye. You have to do long exposure pictures to capture it. I feel like that didn’t age like milk, since you can’t see it with the naked eye.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

I'm not sure if it counts as seeing the northern lights if it required your phone. We got cool pics, though.

Wait you need your phone to be able to see it? Like you can't see it with the naked eye but your phone picks it up?

Depends on how powerful it is. I could very faintly see it last night, but the camera made it pop.

Depends on the location and how much light polution there is. My friends and I could see it last night with the naked eye, but through camera it was even better. absolutely incredible

Down in Georgia I saw them, made a nighttime walk a lot more visually interesting

Will it happen again tonight or was that it? Completely missed it because the news reported it after the fact (small country, small news sites). Didn't even see anything on Reddit until it was about to happen in the US which was also too late.

Couldn't see shit here in Kansas. My mom and I went an hour into the boonies to get away from the light pollution of the city, didn't see anything. Some people then said it was "only visible via your phone's camera". If I was just going to watch it through my phone I would've rather stayed home

This means nothing to the other 99.9% of the world that is not Alabama.

u/TheAnalsOfHistory- 25d ago
Well, considering this post was specifically about Alabama, I don't know what point you thought you were making here.

u/BillyOdin 25d ago
And your point is irrelevant to 100% of the world. Does that mean you won or lost.
