Four times the height of earth.
Not bad for absolute rock bottom of the solar cycle. Edit: Maybe it's ES12a...

Last time something like this happened, Auroras (not the Oldsmobile or top secret plane,
 ) were seen as far south as Texas. There will probably be a lot of dropped cell phone calls too during this period.

I recall being on a commercial jet from N'awlings to Washington DC one night back in the mid 80's. There was a bunch of sunspot / flair activity going on at the time. Pilot prompted us to look out the left side windows to see the aurora. It was awesome!! I'd guess we were somwhere over Kentucky or Tennessee at the time. It was a cooler display than I'd ever seen, even better than when camping in Northern Ontario as a kid.

You know who Nash Roberts is? For those who don't know, Nash is an ancient retired meteorologist whom they bring out of mothballs whenever they want people to take weather seriously. His brother, Ep, called us about the aurora and said we needed to go outside for a look at a rare phenomenon that far south. Yes Virginia, there is a Picayune, MS. B
