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!

Please put me on your list.
We should also be listing HAM call signs and HF/VHF monitored repeaters.

Power systems: possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid. Spacecraft operations: may experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems.
Other systems: induced pipeline currents affect preventive measures, HF radio propagation sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted

I’d say which massive city about 2000mi S of TX I’d like to see take the hit - after all the recent Ford plant articles - but that would be wrong so I’m not going to even think it.

When is it due here?
Living in Western Pa, I can guarantee if there are any mid latitude auroras we will become cloudy. Since tonight is suppose to be clear, the storm will subside before nightfall. Joking.
Current Auroral Oval.
Sunspot AR2371 did blow today with an M6.4. There will be some
Radio disruption.

Interesting. I've shown the family the Sextent I want for my birthday. I keep equivalent "analog" equipment for all the digital.
I started out my career navigating the deserts in Saudi Arabia as well as mapping well locations with a compass and range finder (tape measure for detailed layouts and long hand trigonometry).

I’m not sure I trust these astronomers anymore anyways. One of ‘em told me there was a New Moon and I went outside and didn’t see a dang thing.
To: PA Engineer
Yes, we’re shopping for a sextant. Very useful backup tool.
