Those particles should hold up for a spell, hopefully the clouds go away and they don't spray us like usual. Going up to Summit ridge and see if I can see me some green on St. Pattys

Updated: The sun is blasting us with a severe geomagnetic storm, expect bright auroras

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has sent out a warning today that two eruptions from the sun’s corona early Sunday are plastering Earth right now and causing a G4 severe geomagnetic storm that could last through tonight.

So, experts at NOAA said in a news conference this morning, you can expect bright auroras through tonight, visible from Washington for sure and possibly as far south as Tennessee. Some very vigorous aurora lights were reported from Alaska, Washington and Michigan this morning, NOAA said.

No one is exactly sure. There was a huge sunspot and a massive flare witnessed by Carrington and his telescope. Most likely there was a series of large flares and CMEs before the Big One. And of course the polarity had to be just right (like today's Bz). In short, a 'Perfect Storm'.

Heres what the Carrington supposedly looked like. I believe WA is wondering what would cause a storm strong enough to give us the effect of this type of event. A Carrington type event I believe would be a hypothetical G6 or Kp 10,it would take a dense plasmatic monster CME or several LDEs or small Xflare cmes in a row.Speed and density would be key along with the right polarity if the BZ is high it would negate much of the particles property.
You get into a lot of what ifs , corpuscular or secondary radiation from particles 'smashing' can also be a problem to sats., electronics etc...

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
The closest thing to a Carrington was the Halloween storm of 2003, it was a G5

The solar storm or coronal mass ejection (CME) responsible for this event occurred well after the peak of Solar Cycle 23 in April 2000. It followed months of quiet solar activity characteristic of the waning phase of an average solar cycle. The quiet period ended abruptly and without warning in mid-October with series of solar storms that extended through much of November.

Related: The Magnetic Storm of Halloween 2003 (USGS)

The storm ranks as one of the largest outbreaks of solar activity in recent history (reference: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] ). As such it may serve as portent – and heads-up – of what we might expect following the current near peak of Solar Cycle 24 (see more below).

The leading edge of the Halloween CME impacted the Earth’s magnetic field on October 29. It produced a G5 (“extreme”) geomagnetic storm which lasted for twenty seven hours.

This CME had the potential to threaten life as we know it. Such a worst case scenario (as discussed here) would have required the CME to strike with its magnetic field directly opposed to the Earth’s (like the north pole and south pole of a bar magnet). Fortunately, that was not the case. By pure chance, the alignment of the fields were off by just 20 degrees as indicated by sudden changes in simple compass measurements in Alaska. Consequently, geomagnetically induced electrical currents and associated effects were not as large as they might have been.


VIa USGS: “The arc of light heading towards the Earth is a coronal mass ejection,
which impacts the Earth’s magnetic field (shown in purple), causing magnetic storms.”

Nevertheless, the impacts of the Halloween solar storm were wide-ranging and significant. For example: directional drilling for oil and gas in Alaska was disrupted, as well as geophysical surveys around the world; in Northern Europe, geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) caused electrical transformer problems and even a system failure in Sweden which led to widespread blackouts; the storm is believed to be responsible for the complete loss of the $640 million ADEOS 2 spacecraft, along with its $150 million NASA Seawinds instrument; it triggered GPS disruptions to the FAA’s navigation system affecting commercial aircraft precision approaches and keeping the vertical separation of aircraft no less than specified minimums.
