Not if you live in Alaska and it allows you to plan for watching the Northern Lights.

I'll bet if you check yourself, you can find something lamer you spend $5 a month on.

The only thing I would worry about during this event is a cloudy sky.

A properly aimed x1 should still give you results there, though.  Look at the size of the spot turning our way now.

Electromagnetic storms are far more damaging to the Western World than our adversaries.

If you wish for China's downfall due to nature, with timid effects in the West, you're after a disease, not weather.
