Sooo much jargon.
Up to G-5 possibly. Cell phone visible in dark areas throughout most of CONUS. It was mentioned that air travel ionizing radiation exposure increases during geomagnetic storms. I'd consider pausing travel for a couple of days to not be a guinea pig because there's not enough data to consider it safe. If anyone absolutely must fly tonight, it'd be interesting if they were to take a high sensitivity dosimeter to see wh…
