Take a look at the GOES magnetometer [lower left corner], the electron 
flux [upper right corner] and the predicted Kp [which is 6 right now]. 
You can click on the graphs to get a bigger ones.  The magnetometer 
normally oscillates between about +75 and +100 nT.  I've never seen the 
ordinate go into negative values before.

Spaceweather mentioned that the CME compressed the magnetosphere to 
inside the geostationary orbit altitude, so perhaps that's what the big 
negative pulse is from.
