back in the '60s I'd probably have started a new religion.

I think it takes an equally spectacular burst from the Sun to trigger a display of that magnitude that's visible that far south of the Pole.
I saw some pretty good ones in B.C. years ago, and even saw some in Connecticut coming back to Amherst, Mass. from a Dead concert in Hartford back in '70 I think it was, but never anything like that!
