This has a pretty good view of the aurora now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfF9bhaBuvw
That's really cool! But that's actually one of the previous CMEs, not this one. Very nice to see nonetheless.

Definitely no.

Yep. It's raining pretty hard here in the North East of the UK. Not much point in going to look.
Note to non-UK readers: Most of the time when someone says they are in the “North East of the UK” it’s not some Scotsman up in Shetland it is an English person who is currently in the North East of England. The North East of England is in the middle part of the UK mainland.
Similarly, the part of your body commonly referred to as “the bottom” is in fact closer to half-way down and not at the bottom at all.
I will leave any possible joke about being legless after a night out in Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the experts.

#36what effect if any will the solar flare emissions have on the new ish constellation style satellite networks? and or vice versa? EG would a shielded group or constellation provide a pathway for charge particles around the Earth?

Nice. Looks like it was peaking around 21:00 - 22:00 local time, got pretty intense for a while.

#40A severe geomagnetic storm is starting now (November 12 0000Z). But it's from the previous X-flares (X1.7 and X1.2), not the X5.1 flare.
