On November twelfth, a severe geomagnetic storm is expected to impact Earth, potentially causing widespread technology disruptions and making the northern lights visible across a large portion of the northern United States. The storm is due to recent coronal mass ejections from the sun, with the latest one being the most energetic and fastest. The storm is predicted to hit Earth around midday on Wednesday, with another strong storm anticipated on Thursday. While these storms pose a risk to communication infrastructure, they could offer a rare opportunity to see the aurora borealis as far south as Alabama and northern California, with highly active displays visible in cities like Portland, Oregon, Cheyenne, Wyoming, and even New York City.
