Michigonia Borealis

Happened after coronal mass ejection in Nov of 2001 … 19th to be precise …
The sky opened up like this huge orange that spread radially from the nub above … Actually, it was more like being in a super-large planetarium with a hemispherical dome … somehow you got the feeling that THIS dome was as large as the sky.
Perhaps it was?
Streaks of green, plasma green that streaked out of the root of the sky that was pink, orange, mauve & other colours that one could only begin to imagine the possibility of.
Saw another one, even more intense, even further south … April 07th 2001 from the Lick Observatory situated atop Mt. Hamilton (I think), looking westward over the hills that ring the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir after having driven up thru’ the back-country wineland roads that take you out of the steel, rust and industry of Oakland into the cooler climes of the Diablo range.
‘Twas magical, the ride, that is.

And then, to find an aurora at the end of it!
