How bad could this get?

Its just a G3/G4 even we long term average about one a month.

Get a couple G5 per decade, mildly more impressive.


Not really bad per-say. More like a passing space weather event. They are common events, especially when coronal holes turn to face Earth every 27 days or so. It can interfere with GPS timing. My neighbor had a GPS tracked geo-fence dog collar and it was behaving oddly yesterday.


It’s “per se”, not “per say”.
