Anyone remember the Art Bell show and "Dr. Doom's" Killshot event...
twenty frikkin' years ago! We're not dead yet it seems.
 
Got this from our ARES EC:

You may have seen some local and national news headlines about the potential G3 geomagnetic storm that started last evening and will continue for the next few days.
Outside of the hype, the most these multiple CMEs will impact is enhancing the Northern Lights (aurora).
The watch was issued by NOAA only because there will be several smaller CMEs and coronal hole high-speed streams, that combined, may raise to a G3 level.

Bottom Line:
No need to worry about any communications impacts during this event.


The geek stuff if you want to drill down further:

SIDE NOTE:
It looks like the OEMA just put out a notice. However, I am still not concerned.
