SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic
field during the early hours of March 17th, triggering a magnetic disturbance
that has escalated into the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar
cycle (Kp=8).  During the hours before sunrise on St. Patrick's Day, bright
green skies appeared over multiple US states including Wisconsin, Washington,
Minnesota, and the Dakotas.  Please check http://spaceweather.com  for
pictures and updates on the progress of the storm.
