COMMENTS:
A coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun hit Earth and sparked a geomagnetic storm in the northern skies of Kalamazoo on December 14th.  The Geminid Meteor Shower peaked the night before, but I did see some meteors shoot through the aurora.  Unfortunately, none were captured in any of my images!
