Big Surprise Hit! Multiple solar storms launched over the past several days, with most expected to be glancing blows. But one of them is hitting early and more on target than predictions show. Upstream satellite monitors indicate a strong impact, with a large southward field, meaning aurora is building quickly. Along with the fast wind already hitting, this means Earth is preconditioned to storm. Expect G3, possibly G4 levels with this one!
