I take it this is something to be concerned about but what are the effects of such an incident?

Depends on how it hits. Auroras, satellite disruption, radio interference....those are the minimums

Ever heard of EMP?

No need for concern.
Obama’s golf cart and Teleprompters have been hardened to withstand a direct EMP strike.

Wow, that’s a pretty bad CME.

Don’t know what the effects will be. They said the flare was an M2-class. So it shouldn’t be too bad at all, unless we have very weak flux lines over us now (holes in the field due to the recently accelerating magnetic field shift and possible future flip). A CME from an X-class flare would be more interesting.

Nothing much. Minor communication interruption, aurora further south.
That’s about it. But the biggest of these 3 were an M-Class. Which is minor.
Compared to the Carrington event in 1859, well a candle to the sun. The Carrington event produced Aurora’s strong enough to make those in the Southern United States to think it was day, in the middle of the night. As far south as Florida. Telegraphs were knocked out world wide, some operators claimed that their reel’s caught fire (but I highly doubt it, perhaps from electrical shorts from the flare, but not the flare itself).
This is zilch, compared to that. Most equipment is protected against Solar Flares these days. You would need a very very strong Solar Flare to cause any real damage. Such as a world wide blackout of all communication and electrical systems. Which is possible. But Sol is not a likely candidate of producing such, however a massive Supernovae somewhere in our galaxy, very well could.

Anyone else seeing what looks like northern lights in Seattle now?
Just curious, cause I see some light high up - it could be clouds illuminated from the ground, but you don’t see lights through the clouds!
Also, it’s not north - it’s like overhead and a bit to the south.

Seeing Northern Lights from the top of the Rockies here. It’s 11:27 pm, Mountain Time (Monday).

The moving streaks from the north horizon here were brief—about 2 minutes, but there’s nothing up here that would produce such light but an Aurora. Will keep watching for a bit.
