Rare 'severe' geomagnetic storm is hitting Earth right now

A rare G4, "severe" geomagnetic storm, is underway. It has the potential to disrupt radio transmission signals, cause problems with the electrical grid and have a range of other possibly costly impacts.

The event, which is just one notch below the highest category of solar storm, began at about 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The geomagnetic storm is the result of a pair of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, that left the Sun on March 15 and are now interacting with Earth's atmosphere and geomagnetic field.

Wait! You're a conservative. You can't possibly have any interest in this scientifical stuff.
 
Wonder if this has anything to do with my crack phone i.e. my business cellie having been poor reception today. I had assumed it was because of the wind but my personal cell has worked fine.
