I've never seen a 'flash' at Sunrise/set, but in my younger days, I used to work in the oil patch drilling for oil, and many, many times, out on the open plains of Oklahoma and Texas, I saw the horizon become emerald at both Sunset and Sunrise.

> Hi all,
>
> Sunday night we had what's being described as the best Northern
> Lights display in over 10 years (some say the best ever) here in the North
> East Wisconsin area (NOTE, the lights were, according to reports, visible
> as far South as Oklahoma!).
>
> The light show started around 6:30 PM, and was still exploding
> through the night sky when I went to bed at 11:45 (the news said they
> lasted until after 1:30 am Monday morning).
>
> I've seen the Northern lights before, but WOW, Sunday was almost
> religious! I can't begin to explain it (nor can pictures do it
> justice)...it's an erie and fantastic sight.
>
> At one point, the lights in the Northwest sky were so intense with
> the meandering, pulsing, fantastic lights, you could no longer see the
> stars! Another thing I saw that I've never seen before was 'shafts of
> darkness"! The sky was all ablaze with aqua and red, but rays of darkness>
> cut through the light in every direction...absolutely bizarre to see! At
> 11:00 PM, you could see the lights across the entire heavens...North,
> South, East and West!

> Anyway, I can tell you that there are truly some beautiful things

> HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
