The first CME will arrive late tomorrow or Sunday. Its density is estimated to be quite high but its velocity isn't. The real impact will depend on its magnetic orientation. If it takes a south turn it could result in strong geomagnetic storming.

I don't intend to provide an answer. However, I do live in Los Angeles. On my way home today as I was on the 210 east going through Pasadena, CA....I looked in my rear view mirror and the sky was blood red. Very beautiful, yet unusual. This was around 6pm at the latest.
Actually, I'm not sure wether it was normal or not....I will say this though, it's been almost 20 years since the last time I saw the sky that color. The sunsets color was very unusual.

Thanx Phage
A few years ago in central Saskatchewan, in the middle of winter, I bundled up and stood outside in -40 temps for about an hour watching the most intense auroras I've ever seen. Both greens and pinks, dancing around the sky.
So beautiful.
There was a moment that I wondered if any radiation came through with the display, but it was so gorgeous, I just thought "who cares, I'm watching this".
If there wasn't so much snow, I would have been out there in a lawn chair, and blankets. I could have watched that all night.
I'll be watching for them tonightedit on 26-10-2013 by snowspirit because: Damned autocorrect

Cheesy, no offense intended, but now whenever I see a thread by you I already know it will be about some impending or potential doom or bad happenings.
Try to think about all the many wonderful things in the world and universe sometime.

how might this affect the guys on the International Space Station?
Europe's tallest and most active volcano Mount Etna erupted on Saturday, spewing glowing lava into the air and sending a vast plume of smoke over the southern Italian island of Sicily.
The eruption did not require any mountain villages to be evacuated or cause significant disruption, though airspace over Sicily was briefly closed on Saturday morning, according to Catania airport.
The volcano is in almost constant activity, although the last major eruption was in 1992. The latest eruption was preceded by a series of underground tremors on Friday.
