Yep, I was looking for the highest recorded. Saw one at 60.3 in '03 so far.

Many think these large CME strikes on earth have a link to quake activity.

The X-Ray component of the X2 class affected communications today according to an article on spaceweather.com. Looks like the biggest portion of the X2's CME (the second pulse on the model), is going to miss the earth. Good thing, it's huge. :-)

I listened to the recorded interference. It is too intense for the headphones.

Auroras will probably be kicking it somewhere.
