French fried computers anyone?

This could turn out to be nothing, or a major event. Stay tuned:

Won't be nothing. There's several days warning. Satellites will be put into a 'protective' mode if they're in the path. Probably have better chance of seeing aurora here on Earth at latitudes further south than normal.

Might wind up with some spotty radio comms.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be watching for the aurora, but AK's heading into long summer days/short nights so there isn't much complete darkness right now. The aurora may be present but the long twilights may wash much of it out.

This is the forecast site I tend to check. It is calling for high/very high activity over the weekend.
