Does he live far south or in a city? This was as widespread as it gets but still a luck of the draw thing.

Are you going to wear a tin foil hat too?

So. If there is a real potential problem but it is fixed before it becomes a problem, is that the definition of a hoax? You know, like replacing the worn out tires before you have a blow out? Or getting polio vaccine before you get polio. So, if I never had a blow out or polio, those were hoaxes, and the tires were just fine and I never would have had polio. Wow! I wonder if the fuel guage in my car is a hoax that the fuel companies had car manufacturers put in to fool us into buying gas when we don't have to. Well, I won't be fooled again. 🤠 Thanks!

I was in Cornwall, PA. Friday and Saturday were cloudy at night. Did not see a thing. Family near Philly caught a small break in clouds, saw nothing with naked eye but captured a glow on an iPhone in a night mode pic. Another in Danville, VA had a good view. Here are some pics if you missed it. There are some good ones from Florida and Puerto Rico in local Floridian news sources.

There is still an HF radio blackout from protons arriving via the Parker Spiral magnetic connection from the Sun to Earth from the same sunspot:
