Kent:
This Solar event is a big one. We measured the strength in Volts rather than millivolts. Here is a shot of the earth currents caused by the storm. Note the time of arrival.
Congrats on your forecast.

This is an updated 12 hour data capture of the earth currents caused by this storm.
Starting time..00:01UTC 09/24/1998

Our equipment saturated and flatlined tonight at 23:46:00 (7:46PM EDT) 09/24/1998. The duration of highest intensity was 7.43 min.
Our equipment is synced to the WWV time standard, plus or minus 5 milliseconds so I was surprised we received the burst around 14 minutes before the Longyearbyen magnetometer recorded the same.
Looks like it's going to be a long night!

This is the recording of a 20 hour segment of the current magnetic storm. Starting time 23:00hrs UTC (7PM EDT) 09/24/1998....Ending time 19:00hrs UTC (3PM EDT) 09/25/1998.
During this time our detectors which measure current through the earth, went out of range. Normal signal voltage averages around 100 millivolts. These signals went off scale at, + and - 12 volts or 12,000 millivolts.
