Early Wednesday morning the Space Weather Prediction Center put out an active warning for a G3 – Strong Geomagnetic Storm.
(WABASH VALLEY) WTHI – A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit earth at 2:43 AM Eastern Wednesday, May 12. A CME is a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun. The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite discovered a CME racing toward earth at around 961,882 miles per hour.
The Space Weather Prediction Center from NOAA said that this CME hit earth at a G3 or a Strong category. When this occurs, voltage corrections may be needed as well as false alarms to some protection devices may occur.

coronal mass ejection
If it were close to the edge, there may have been total mass retain.
Trump’s fault!🙀🤗
Poor and women hardest hit?
Could that have caused an hour-long electrical outage in Baltimore this morning?
Seasons will pass you by...

Why do we always find out after the fact?
How frustrating.
I didn’t feel a thing.
As long as we still have weed and the internet there’s no reason to panic.
Will the Pope come out with a new statement to the effect that now the sun has joined in the cries of the earth as it suffers under the cruel torture that is being inflicted upon it by the burning of fossil fuels?
I get up, I get down, I see what you did there...
I’m sorry. That was just one of my superfarts ricocheting off the sun and coming back at us. Too many medicines and not enough pancreas left to digest very well.
Next time I will give Earth a warning. I promise.
Excuse me while I go have my dinner of franks and beans!!
Not good for us amateur radio operators
Well here I sit on Thursday morning on the internet and a working cell phone by my side. 🙄
Yeah, well, tell the moon don’t tell the marcher.
The earth did. There were two 6.0+ magnitude earthquakes within 6 hours of the CME impact.
