Northern lights spotted in Central Texas

A large geomagnetic storm gave some people in Central Texas the rare chance to see the Northern Lights.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center said there was a Level 4 "Severe" Geomagnetic Storm on Thursday night.

The Leander Fire Department posted photos of the aurora borealis shortly before 10 p.m.

Not everyone was able to see the lights.

The people with the best shot were away from the city lights.

Others were only able to see the lights when they took a picture of the horizon on their phone.
