Try and get it on video. I imagine you should be in for one hell of a show.
I'm praying that's all it is.

not just the south, but we are getting reports up here in Fairbanks, Alaska, that we should be seeing quite the show as well.

Might help if the big huge fire just south of here would go out and clear up the sky
