   CME IMPACT: As expected, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic   
   field on Sept. 3rd at approximately 1200 UT (5 am PDT).  The impact induced   
   measurable ground currents in the soil of northern Scandinavia and sparked   
   bright auroras around the Arctic Circle.  At the time this alert is being   
   issued, a moderately strong (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm is underway.  Check   
   http://spaceweather.com for photos and updates.
