FYI everyone:
we're getting the largest geomagnetic storm in 19 years in a few hours
it could impact #GPS, the #powergrid and maybe the #internet
tiny chance
it's rated a G4
we had a G5 in 2003 and it caused power outages in Sweden and damaged transformers in South Africa
on the plus side:
visible as far south as Alabama possibly
