FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)(edited by NW7US): 
Strongly perturbed geomagnetic conditions(Kp = 7) are currently recorded. This 
magstorm is caused by a coronal hole in the southern solar hemisphere. Strongly 
negative Bz (< -20 nT) and increasing solar wind speeds (> 400 km/s) are being 
measured. It is expected that the coronal hole will rotate out of view and that 
the magstorm will start decaying the coming hours.
