G3 will mess with long range UHF/VHF and give some GPS and satcom noise.  The geomagnetic effects won't even make the aurora visible in the northern tier states in the US of A.  (i keep a weather eye out for solar weather because of my work) This one shouldn't be as bad as it was last year during a middling sized storm.
it shouldn't be enough to remember next week. - assuming my crystal ball works right :o)

1) Thanks JoJo for the heads up! I have been traveling a lot of late and have not been paying attention.
2) Thanks Kbop for the update.

We hear about those all the time.  Nothing ever comes from them.  No big deal.  We need to stop spending the money to worry about those things and spend it on helping those poor refugees.  They need it more and we need to worry about them more.

All the science stuff is govt spending on the wrong stuff.
