Viewers from around the region were able to see the northern lights Thursday night.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesman Pete Piringer shared the splendor on X, taking advantage of it to remind people to check their smoke alarms.
The rare sight was possible due to a big solar storm, Storm Team4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer said.
It was viewable as far south as Alabama and Florida, Kammerer said.
