The Aurora Borealis in Ohio

I saw the aurora borealis last night! In Ohio! It is also known as the Northern Lights and I didn't know it was possible to see it here. My hubby and I were out in the hot tub around 9:30 PM. I saw a vertical streak of red in the sky and it grew a deeper red. Then we noticed another horizontal patch of bright red in the northern sky. It was beautiful but we were a little freaked out because we didn't know what it was. It only lasted 10 minutes or so and I feel like it was a once in a lifetime chance to see something unique and indescribable. This photo is not mine, but it is the closest thing I could find on the Internet that compared with what we saw last night. My husband also saw two shooting stars last night!

Wow, am I jealous! Spent my first 35 years in the Cleveland and thought I was several stratospheres away from that sight. Dick Goddard must have been over the moon, is he still living?

From a hot tub, yet. You must really be living right . . .

I'm jealous too!
We went out to the park Monday night around 8, but the sky was clouded over... went out to look again at 11, but the skyshow was over.

Thanks for the comments Carol and Geoffrey! I was beginning to think no one was reading this blog anymore!
