A third, much faster coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to catch up with the two observed on 18 and 19 June bringing them all to Earth in close succession by the UTC day of 22 June 2015. The CME was associated with an R1-Minor flare event observed at 0142 UTC (9:21 pm ET) from Sunspot Region 12371 located near center disk. A G3-Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch has been issued for 22 June as well as a G2-Moderate Watch for 23 June as the CMEs make their way past Earth. These Watches supersede all prior forecasts. Stay tuned to the website to see how the activity unfolds!

I take it this is something to be concerned about but what are the effects of such an incident?

Depends on how it hits. Auroras, satellite disruption, radio interference....those are the minimums

And soo then....
For when the INTERNET goes down and quits working completely (Sorta like Congress only funner) I've created a FRee Republic Emergency Ping list (as suggested by mitch5501 ) called:
The "The INTERNET isn't working" ping list:
IF you would like "ON' or "OFF the list FReep Mail me OR ping me in a thread with your request. This will not be a High Volume Ping list (Well at least we hope the INTERNET doesn't quit working frequently)
"So let it be written. So let it be done."
The List: mitch5501; Rocky; Pajamajan; Mad Dawgg; hoosiermama; SE Mom; null and void; BenLurkin; bigheadfred; redhead; berdie; Old Sarge; wyokostur; GeronL; TheOldLady; ducttape45; Gefn; IYellAtMyTV; Redcitizen; LonePalm; garandgal

No need for concern.
Obama’s golf cart and Teleprompters have been hardened to withstand a direct EMP strike.

Don’t know what the effects will be. They said the flare was an M2-class. So it shouldn’t be too bad at all, unless we have very weak flux lines over us now (holes in the field due to the recently accelerating magnetic field shift and possible future flip). A CME from an X-class flare would be more interesting.
