Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.

there was some good viewing here in Arizona(phoenix), i didnt notice any other coincidences,
cb radio was un-effected but oddly the level of static was lower.

Thanx for the info !!

You're welcome. I think the bands are opening back up now but did manage to slip a few South American stations in the evening hours during the flares. They were weak. The static levels were high here during the mornings and afternoons. We didn't see the Northern Lights here due to the cloud cover.

I have been watching Tamitha Skov's YouTube for years, 90% of the time she gets her predictions right.

They are predicting a lot of fireworks from the sun in 2025.
