From SpaceWeather.com:
"A CME has just hit Earth's magnetic field (Sept.7th at ~2300 UT). This is the debris from Wednesday's decade-class X9 solar flare. It arrived earlier than expected, confirming that the storm cloud is both fast and potent. A strong G3-class geomagnetic storm is in progress as our planet's magnetic field reverberates from the impact.
Radio blackouts are occurring in numerous locations.
