A Massive 'Coronal Hole' on the Sun is blasting Earth with Solar Storms

A moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm is currently in progress due to a high speed solar wind stream above 700 km/s. More storming is expected over the next several days as a coronal hole stream rattles our geomagnetic field.

G2 - Moderate geomagnetic storm, aurora seen as far south as Colorado. Sky watchers at middle to high latitudes should be alert for visible aurora during the next several nights. http://www.solarham.net/

Show's not over. G1 and G2-class geomagnetic storms are underway on April 23rd as Earth moves through a high speed solar wind stream . http://www.spaceweather.com/
