The story of the 1859 storm is incredible - telegraphs operating without their batteries. Northern Lights visible from the Caribbean. This one they're calling for visibility from MN and WI. Still pretty amazing.

Past few days some guys who were limited to SSB skills were really crying; sounded as if they'd been holed up with Al Gore or something. Dang, I was so busy discounting the gloom & doom that said I couldn't communicate, while keying up the Vibroplex with the guy in New Zealand, that I forgot to look outside to see if there were any pretty green lights dancing...
Shucks.
Apparently there was a X6.9 size solar flare approx 0800Z yesterday.
