X7.15 solar flare with a ~1000 km/s CME is heading toward Earth

Date: October 1st, 2024 8:05 PM Author: wonderful love of her life This just happened about 90 minutes ago. It's moving pretty fast and could lead to a G4/G5 geomagnetic storm, which could produce aurora as far south as Texas and Florida in addition to potentially extreme electrical grid disruption.

Date: October 1st, 2024 8:28 PM Author: wonderful love of her life This is the largest flare occurring on 10/01 since at least 1994, the second largest flare to occur during this solar cycle (25), and the 24th largest EVER recorded.
Real talk: Now's the time to stock up on supplies. Be ready for potentially severe grid disruption. It's moving at 1246 km/s toward Earth and will probably arrive Thursday or Friday. Keep in mind that we have a weakened magnetic field, so under normal conditions, this would be more like an X12+ storm, which could cause grid failures. At X25+, we're talking about a global blackout/Carrington Event. |

https://www.spaceweather.gov/news/g1-g3-minor-strong-geomagnetic-storm-watches-issued-03-05-october is all that's out there for the moment. The coronagraphs appeared to show a fairly decently sized CME moving at a decent rate of speed. They're just not sure how bad it's gonna be, but it looks like we're not facing a G4 or G5 storm. G3 would be 180 as it'll mean a really good chance of seeing the aurora very far south (illinois, northern ohio, the northeast, etc.) |

Date: October 3rd, 2024 11:53 AM Author: wonderful love of her life Holy shit... we just had another X9.0 solar flare from AR3842 (the same one that gave the X7.1 on Tuesday). That'll be another direct hit, but since that magnetosphere will already be weakened... yeah, we're getting into G4/G5 territory.
