ALERT: STRONG (G3) Geomagnetic STORM (K-index of 7) – Interplanetary Shock Detected (+Video)

(Before It's News)

The CME associated with a filament eruption on August 12, 2015 arrived a little earlier than expected. An interplanetary shock was observed by the ACE spacecraft at approximately 0745 UTC (3:45 am ET) on August 15th. G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm levels were reached by 1143 UTC (7:43 am ET), however, activity levels appear to be decreasing slightly as the initial phase of the impact passes. G2 (Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm conditions are still in progress as CME effects continue.
