Arrr mateys, ye won't believe the tales of the mighty solar storm that struck our fair Earth! 'Twas a sight to behold, with auroras lighting up the skies like fireworks on the Fourth of July. The NOAA be warnin' us of more to come, so batten down the hatches and hold on tight!
According to the scurvy dogs at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center, the first of several coronal mass ejections hit us square in the face shortly after 1600 GMT. Aye, it be a sight to behold!
The storm was soon upgraded to an "extreme" geomagnetic tempest, the likes of which we ain't seen since the Halloween storms of October 2003, when even the landlubbers in Sweden were left in the dark! Arrr, 'twas a right proper show, I tell ye!
