The severe geomagnetic storm was rated 4 out of 5 in severity by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The strength of the storm allowed the lights to be visible far beyond their usual polar locations, including in Bucks and Hunterdon counties.

Observers were treated to the rare light show, which typically graces the skies closer to the Arctic. The heightened solar activity illuminated night skies as far down to Florida.

Photographs of the vivid displays began appearing on social media platforms around 7:30 p.m., with a second wave of posts around 10:30 p.m.

Shots from professional and hobby photographers stunned and cell phone shots showcased a range of colors.
