Reminiscent of the solar max of the last cycle--biggest since 2006---boy if we are getting these so early in Cycle 24---better batten down the hatches....

A sharp gust of solar wind hit Earth's magnetosphere on Monday, April 5th, at approximately 0800 UT and sparked the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year.

 

"It hit earlier and harder than forecast," says Doug Biesecker of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.
