It was expected, but not quite so soon, and loads of sightings up North.
Apparently it was 2 CMEs rolled into one....
From Spaceweather.com
CME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A cannibal CME, described below, hit Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 3rd at approximately 20:00 UT. Solar wind data from the DSCOVR spacecraft show a stairstep structure indicative of two or more CMEs pressed together. A moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm is underway now, and the storm could escalate to category G3 in the hours ahead.
Typically clouded out here!
