Solar storm from hole in the sun will hit Earth on Wednesday (Aug. 3)

I'm a bit tired of these wimpy CME's. It would actually be, well absolutely, astounding to sit in a lawn chair with a beverage of choice and see a spectacular aurora light up the night sky. Those Canadians and Far Northern U.S. "woodchucks, yahoos and assorted hillbillys" get to see all the good auroras while we in Upstate NY get clouds and light pollution.
