Big Disappointment

ChrisB · August 24, 2016

Living in North Norfolk we are lucky not to have light polution when looking out to sea. We also get some of the best views of Aurora Borealis this far south in the country.

We subscribe to Aurora Watch that is run by Lancaster University, so we were quite excited to receive an e mail yesterday afternoon that was a "Red Alert". Red alert is pretty much a dead certainty. We made plans for after dark so as not to miss the show.

A couple of hours later I checked my mails and it was all a false alarm with many appologies extended.

Someone had been using a motor mower with little or no suppression near their equipment!
