Living where I do, we see them occasionally. Tonight's forecast after midnight is predicted to have a KP Index of 8 on a scale of 1 to 9.

Carrington Event

Geomagnetic solar stormThe Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking from 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10. It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in multiple telegraph stations. Wikipedia
