And now another operations center - GSP - will close and permanently lay off nearly one hundred employees.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - The prospects for seeing the Northern Lights from Johnson City, Tennessee, this weekend and tonight are influenced by space weather conditions and geographical location. Despite increased solar activity and a forecast for severe geomagnetic storms on May 12 and 13, which could lead to more visible auroras even at lower latitudes, Johnson City was unlikely to experience the Northern Lights. The city, situated far south of the usual aurora visibility zones, would need a powerful solar storm, akin to the Carrington Event of 1859, to have a visible aurora​ (NOAA SWPC)​​ (NOAA SWPC)​​ (Aurora Forecast for Canada's North)​. That said, the auroras were visible in the Tri-Cities last night and may be visible again tonight, Saturday, May 11, from 10 pm - 2 am Sunday.

Clearwater, Florida: Although many people know Kirstie Alley from her time on the wildly popular sitcom Cheers, there was much more to her than that. Alley was also a mother, and, at least part-time, she was a Floridian living in a home in Clearwater, Florida, that she purchased from Lisa Marie Presley. (The home recently sold for just over $5 million after Alley's death.)
