smash

Major SEP (solar energetic particle) event has just occurred. Expect continued activity from El Sol! Thanks smAsh teAm. Polar radio blackouts could continue for days, and probability of an x-class solar flare causing equatorial hf radio blackouts is nearly 100%!

Not a drill.

…is already causing polar hf radio brownouts.

KP5, but no big spike seen yet in geoelectric fields.

The laureate cme strike features a much stronger magnetic field. This could quickly develop into a G2 geomagnetic storm, of KP6-7. Don’t say we didn’t warn the smash team!
