> There is still a possibility that we could reach G5 (Extreme) levels.

An event like what happened this past May.

Having 2 G5 events in the same solar cycle would be quite notable. Ref last night’s media presentation by the NOAA at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBh5-uB77ns


(I'm trying to understand this from a DR/fault tolerance perspective). Have any of you seen any impact to your computing and network systems. If yes:

* what kind of impact (please detail)

* what did you/your Org. do to recover.

* what do you think should have been done.

Thank you for posting this, we managed to catch a glimpse of the Aurora in London, fantastic stuff!


Just 30 mins ago able to see at 37.8N in US, last time that happened was the G5 event in May.
