For info, I have been subscribed to the lancaster uni facility since
July. In that time there has been one amber alert ... no red alerts
and no aurorae.


The York magnetometer (which is where the detctor is) really only
detects fairly big events, there havn't been any big events
recently...

http://www.aurorachasers.com/ is another reasonable site, lots of
useful information. It also makes predictions a few hours ahead and
will send out email alerts. Look at the ADEC pages. The calculator
page for the Kp value alert seems to come up with a good answer,
you'll need your latitude and longitude though.
