The intensity of the storm shut down telegraph systems across Europe and North America and even set some buildings on fire when equipment started sparking.
Luckily for us, Saturday s CME will not hit us head-on and its effects will be minor at most.
The SWPC said: A G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for February 23 and 24, 2020, UTC-days. A CME that occurred on February 20, 2021, was analyzed and modelled, and it is likely that the flanking edge of the CME may arrive as a minor glancing blow late on the February 23 UTC-day.
