Out of the 7 CMEs to hit Earth (4 more to come) the X-5 CME will be the worst and it's not here yet.
Lower and equatorial latitude?  Not such a big deal.  Northern latitudes?  It will be interesting to see how "cashless" Sweden fares. Although not a "Grid Killshot" is should be a "Wake-The-Hell-Up-Shot."  The Sun is alive, well, and produces CME, and a set of CMEs large enough to take out global grids isn't an "If" but is a "When."

Interestingly enough - not a peep on any news channels I've seen locally. Ignorance is bliss.

If an aurora borealis showed up this far south, almost the entire population of Thailand would become practicing Buddhists overnight and Lotto ticket sales would be record breaking.

This is probably why I saw the largest amount of lightening strikes yesterday in my 20 years here.

Maybe weed DOES need to be made illegal here. See what happens when it's not?
