>From   Space.com:

"We're looking for very strong, severe geomagnetic storming" to begin 
probably around mid-day Thursday, Joe Kunches, Lead Forecaster at the 
NOAA Space Environment Center, told /SPACE.com/ this afternoon.

The storm is expected to generate aurora <http://www.space.com/auroras/> 
or Northern Lights, as far south as the northern United States Thursday

expected to be put at additional risk, Kunches said.

Radio communications, satellites and power grids could face potential 
interruptions or damage, however....
