Can you see Aurora Borealis in Silicon Valley?

Today may just be the day.

The sun let loose an intense solar flare on March 6, 2012. The coronal mass ejection (CME) arrived at Earth early Thursday morning, around 5:45AM ET.
This eruption from the sun has been classified as an X5.4-class solar flare. X-class flares are the strongest classification of solar flares.
Fortunately, geomagnetic storm didn't reach expected heights, so our cell phones and GPS systems shouldn't have too much disruption. At the moment geomagnetic storm is rated G1 on a scale of G1 to G5. For farther updates you can visit: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/News030712-X5-4.html
There is something interesting that might come out of this largest solar flare that hits Ears in the last 5 years: DeAnza College Planetarium Director Carl Vonahnen said that "Aurora Borealis might, just might, become visible in Silicon Valley tonight". Of course full moon will not help us to see it, but try your luck this evening. Watch out for Northern Lights in your sky tonight.

Happy Purim and International Women's Day to everybody!
