The night of 11th May, 2024, may well have been as intense. Southern Hemisphere aurorae were reported as far North as a place known as "1770", north of Bundaberg, Australia; and Northern Aurora down to Florida. 2001:8003:E40F:9601:61DA:9B2E:B7E0:CD1B (talk) 07:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I wonder whether such information would be better presented on List of solar storms, rather than in this article? Praemonitus (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Was there actually fire?

I was looking into the source cited for this claim in the introduction paragraph (https://scholarworks.alaska.edu/bitstream/handle/11122/3607/GI%20Reports%20109.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y), and I couldn't fine any mention of fire in the paper (and asked chatgpt to corrobrorate, which it did). Does anyone know any other sources? Sodiumbrella (talk) 09:56, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
