From the reports that I've read, it's medium size storm.  We've seen worse, even during the past solar cycle.  I still keep some stuff in Faraday boxes, but I'm not overly concerned.  The recent solar activity will effect propagation, other than that, not much to worry about.

its a bit unusual - this many and aimed at the earth. i think we have been hit by two and two more are on the way - let me look.
like Jackalope said, its most likely just going to piss off satellite operators.
if you are worried, might not be a bad idea in this one to disconnect long wire antennas.
it has reached KP7 like JoJo said - we currently have a G3 storm going on. 
NOAA says the biggest problem will be a geomagnetic storm. 
for comparison the one that missed the Earth in 2003 was in the X28+ category - that would have me needing clean undies - this one is several thousand times smaller and weaker.
The classes go A, B, C, M and X.  this one is a largish A class.  the scale is logarithmic.  A 'C' would make me get some fuel for my generator and an X would have me  :hiding:
if we avoid sympathetic resonance issues we shouldn't have any power problems.
