Another “we’re all gonna die” tweet/headline/story.

Very low level geomagnetic storm (KP4-ish). Earth’s magnetosphere seems to be handling it well.
Some auroras at lower latitude than usual - maybe Nova Scotia - but not down as far as NY.
A rare electrical occurrence somewhere in the world.
Shouldn’t affect communications or GPS satellites.
Basically, a nothingburger.
