🌌 The northern lights danced across Arkansas last night

This incredible photo was captured over our very first funeral home, Roller Funeral Home in Mountain Home, by Melanie Middleton (). What a moment to remember.

The aurora borealis rarely reaches this far south, but due to a powerful solar storm, the skies lit up in vibrant shades of red and purple! Will we get green tonight?

According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, there’s still a strong chance of visibility in Arkansas again this evening between 6 PM and 9 PM.

👉 So grab your camera, step outside, and look toward the northern horizon.
If you're lucky enough to capture the northern lights, we’d love to see it ! Tag us or drop your photos in the comments and help us celebrate this rare and stunning phenomenon.

Thank you again, Melanie, for sharing this beautiful image with all of us.
