He’s a fool for the dancing.

On March 1st , 2011 a fast moving solar wind stream impacted Earth causing a G1 geomagnetic storm which hit during daylight hours for all of the UK and Ireland. What began as an interesting surge in activity turned into a high alert event when the KP reached a value of 6 with a south tilting Bz component.
Quite.
More to the point, photographer Martin McKenna was out on the Antrim coast taking pictures of it.

Kevin Myers: “This is political correctness gone mad: Let him bite the bloody dog. I would rather have rabies than be told I cannot devour a canine with my remaining port-stained molars.”
David McWilliams: “I warned on several occasions that the dog was in danger but was ignored.”
Vincent Browne: “The man bites the dog, the dog will bite the cat, the cat will scratch its owner. Why? because we live in an unequal society and it will never change.”
Tom McGurk: “If it happened in the south there would be an outcry. But because this occured north of the border, nobody wants to talk about the injured dog for fear of stirring the hornet’s nest of dissident republicanism”
Michael O’Doherty: “Why I won’t be inviting man who bit dog to the Peter Mark VIP Style Awards.”
Fiona Looney: “I let my youngest bite a dog once . If that makes me a bad mother then so be it: I’m a bad mother.”
David Quinn: “So, a man bites a dog. What next? Homosexuals and women in general demanding – as their right – to lie down with the beasts (Leviticus 34.10) and have a nibble?”
Alison O’Riordan: “Because of the reckless lending practices of our banks, I have been forced to bite cheap, stray dogs.”
John Waters: “When we say man bites dog. Do we not mean ‘woman drags dog through the Family Court like it was a four-legged rag doll’? A court where the systematic suppression of the facts about injustices against all domestic pets has been effected by a generation of animal-hating journalists, male and female.”
Eoghan Harris: “A Socratic dialogue – even one that turns nasty – between a man and a dog is a rite of passage. Sean O’Riada would allow me to bite his King Charles spaniel. The dog was soft but sound on the Irish question.”
