Northern lights seen over the Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania:So far, May 10th beats this by a mile or two at my location, but it truly is unbelievable that somehow I’ve managed to see the Northern lights twice in one year in South Carolina.

This is the second time a geomagnetic storm has hit the United States this year, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issuing a 'severe' geomagnetic storm forecast. The 'coronal mass ejection' - or an eruption of solar materials, as the NOAA explained, caused this rare Grade 4 geomagnetic storm Thursday. Despite the dazzling green, red and pink hues that mesmerized viewers from the Earth, it posed a severe threat to satellite and GPS infrastructure launched in space, the NOAA said.Aurora over the Delaware Bay, Cape May Court House @phillywx pic.twitter.com/KSIIcV4fVh
