St. Patrick's Day Geomagnetic Storm

Space Weather News for March 17, 2015
http://spaceweather.com

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of March 17th, triggering a magnetic disturbance that has escalated into the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle (Kp=8).  During the hours before sunrise on St. Patrick's Day, bright green skies appeared over multiple US states including Wisconsin, Washington, Minnesota, and the Dakotas.  Please check http://spaceweather.com  for pictures and updates on the progress of the storm.

DID YOU SLEEP THROUGH THE AURORAS?  Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service were notified by phone  moments after the CME hit and they received constant updates as the storm intensified.  Sign up for the service at http://spaceweathertext.com (text) or http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
