In the past these storms have caused problems with power grids more so in higher latitudes like Canada. Note that space weather gives a 70% chance of a high latitude storm. Most likely effect would be in Canada or Alaska.
Note that since posted Spaceweather has updated the timing of their prediction.

"GEOMAGNETIC STORM, SLIGHTLY DELAYED: A CME expected to hit Earth on Oct. 11th is running late. As a result, NOAA forecasters have shifted their prediction of a possible G2-class geomagnetic storm from Oct. 11th to Oct. 12th. G2-class storms are moderately strong, and can produce naked-eye auroras in northern-tier US states. Aurora alerts: SMS Text."
