You must have seen some amazing Aurora Borealis displays! It *can* be seen here in the East, but the displays I've witnessed (twice, how blessed am I? smile) were nothing like the ones further north. I have not been to the far north, but would love to go visit friends there in Yellowknife, someday. (I do not have the new names either, no disrespect intended to the Inuit people).
Does anyone know what a tidal bore is

The tidal heights in the bay of fundy are mighty, but the incoming wave, at the end , like Moncton, is often only a foot high and brown not ocean-blue, that is why it's called a bore, boring, but kidding aside, it is not a wave with up and down movement, but
a VERY TURBULENT front of water advancing with more water behind it. like the walls closing in on the Egyptian army in the fairy tale of Exodus.
For the real thrill, dont go to St John even with it's tidal Reversing Falls, google China's river tidal bores smashing in, and google the surfers riding them, or surfing the tidal bore in the Amazon delta.
Even waves on some beaches become bores, after the second break, what surfers call the "soup" bubbly water not waving put like a moving terrace hitting the beach.
one of the rewards of life
look at the tsunami videos, It came in as a series of ~7 WAVES, rotating energy only, often across oceans, but ended up as a bore, a moving mass of lifted, but basically level water.

Agreed. It is one of nature's wonders ........... the ones I saw were like curtains, waving in the wind .....
The tidal bore can reach heights of 8 feet in one of the rivers here, but yeah, it's generally less than a foot high in most places. Even so, it's amazing to see this wall of water racing *up* a river.
