NOAA issued a G3, or "strong" geomagnetic storm watch, for Saturday and Sunday ahead of the flare slamming into the Earth. The scale for geomagnetic storms runs from G1, or minor storm, to G5, an extreme storm.
This geomagnetic storm could cause voltage irregularities and false alarms on some protection devices, NOAA warns. It also could cause high frequency radio blackouts and loss of radio contact on the sunlit side of the earth.
The most visible effect from the impending geomagnetic storm is it will likely supercharge the aurora borealis, making it visible across large parts of the US and Europe.
It may be visible on the horizon as far south as Dublin, Ireland and Hamburg, Germany.

Finnish recording of Aurora sounds
The entire video is interesting but this part discusses the hissing sound that some people in high latitudes say they hear.
(Probably can't hear if you listen to too much Scandinavian heavy metal!)
I believe there’s also a SpaceX launch dark and early tomorrow.

It is supposed to be clear here, but I am located next to a large city and the moon will be out!

Oh noes we’re all gonna die./S/
Couldn’t have been in Eden - we lived next door to the church. I only remember them in Eden.
Just noticed the driving people home...
I don’t remember all of the circumstances, only that I saw them a few times.
It was in Eden. Dad was driving some of the young people home after church and we were with him. It was weird.
So they’re telling me that if I was back in upstate NY I could see something I already have. Now if it was visible here south of the Mason- Dixon Line, that would be something. I guess I’ll just have live with my memories of Aurora’s Boringowlass.
“GEOMAGNETIC STORM UPDATE: We’re still waiting for the CME. Right now minor geomagnetic unrest is happening at Arctic latitudes. This is due to a crack that opened in Earth’s magnetic field—a phenomenon unrelated to the incoming CME. So far the much-anticipated storm has not yet begun. Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service will receive a text message when the CME strikes.”
