    The flairs are so strong that in some parts of the world, bluetooth is crackling, old electronics are struggling to turn on, and wireless mouse and keyboards are not registering clicks.... also I have had a migraine this whole time, sun needs to calm.

    Also, if you think you see something, take pictures. You will see more with longer exposures. There may be more going on than you realize.

      Faintly saw the aurora and took pics. When I got home, they were clear as day!
      ...Then again, I alsp got pics of a very bright aurora. Those were still way better than my eyes though!

    Be prepared because the flares if powerful enough can shutdown the power grid. Lookup the 1859 Carrington Event, a massive solar event that disrupted the communication for a week.

      The worst we can expect is some power blackouts. Nothing should have terribly long-term consequences.

      Look outside at night, take the darkest and clearest route available if you travel late, and look to the north. Then, dim all lights, and turn your phone brightness as low as it'll go. If you see anything, open camera and get some pics, but also... wait a while and see if it brightens up.
      That's how I got some sick pics over here in Nevada! Also... don't worry too much, o fellow anxious one. As everyone said, most it'll do is down a few satellites and muck with the grid a little. If your town goes dark at night, oh well! Take a hurricane lamp, don some bug spray, and go outside.
