The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has observed extreme (G5) geomagnetic conditions Saturday morning and expect severe (G4) conditions to continue through the weekend.
* A Geomagnetic Storm of this strength can cause multiple and widespread issues with various power and communication systems.
* Widespread voltage control problems may occur; some power grid systems may experience component failures, disruption of service and protective device trips. This could result in blackouts.
* Pipeline currents can reach hundreds of amps.
* GPS and other satellite navigation may be degraded or unavailable for days.
* High Frequency (HF) radio propagation may be impossible in many areas for one or two days.
* Low-frequency radio navigation can be out for hours.
* Aurora may be visible at much lower latitudes.

We could get more of this! Last night fog moved in couldn't see **** I should have went inland, can get to 4,000 feet above sea level in 20 miles.
