*GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:* As predicted, a solar wind stream
engulfed Earth on Nov. 7th, but the geomagnetic storms it is producing
are stronger than expected. Moderate G2-class storms are underway at the
time of this alert, sparking auroras around both of our planet's poles.
The gaseous stream is flowing from a wide hole in the sun's atmosphere,
and Earth could be inside it for days. NOAA forecasters say there is a >
50% chance of continued storming (most likely G1-class) on Nov. 7th, 8th
and 9th. Visit Spaceweather.com
