Only a glancing blow? When do we get the ‘direct hit!’?

NORTHERN LIGHTS IN THE USA: On Saturday, April 11th, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field. The impact caused a G2-class geomagnetic storm and, for the first time this year, ignited auroras over the continental United States. “The lights were bright enough to produce a reflection from the surface of Lake Superior,” says photographer Shawn Malone, who recorded the scene from a beach in Marquette, Michigan:
I wonder if all this Sun Activity is causing the surge in Global Earthquakes as well as the Huge Volcanic Eruption that happened again in Iceland today....

I believe that we get hit periodically, and satellite operators, power grid operators, etc. have SOP for dealing with it.

Are we all going to die? Yes, but only because you've been exposed to dihydrogen monoxide. It has nothing to do with these CMEs.

CME’s are rated by letter:
A-M, A being small, and M being large.
A few years back there was a X class CME (previously thought to be SO LARGE as to not exist.) that went the other way from the earth. We all dodged a bullet on that one...
I wonder what size this CME was?

Oh yeah. It’s normal. I still think this sunspot cycle we are in isn’t going to be that great which really would be bad news for the amateur radio operators who work on the DX bands.
