OK, so it wasn't as bad as they thought. But hey! It looked cool.The models also predict that the leading edge of the first CME will reach Earth at about 1:25 AM EST on the morning of March 8 (plus or minus 7 hours). Such a CME could result in a severe geomagnetic storm, causing aurora at low latitudes, with possible disruption to high frequency radio communication, global positioning systems (GPS), and power grids.

it's funny how all of the words used in these articles make it sound like it's the end times (especially coronal mass ejection) but it's really just another day in the life of Earth
