Re: [APML] Aurora!!

[Mark Bohrer <lurchl@ix.netcom.com>]

In summer, any unusual weather or sky phenomena are very noticeable in the 
San Francisco Bay Area. In early July 1979, an early-morning thunderstorm 
elicited calls to the cops asking them to do something about the noise... 
It ordinarily doesn't rain or storm here from May through early October.

I've lived in the Bay Area over 24 years, and I've never seen the aurora. 
You're very fortunate, Steve.
