   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.
