Gentlemen:

We are all probably well advised to disconnect  any/all antennas

Potential Impacts: Area of impact  primarily poleward of 50 degrees
Geomagnetic Latitude.

Induced  Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible,
false alarms may  be triggered on some protection devices.

Spacecraft - Systems may  experience surface charging; increased drag
on low Earth-orbit satellites  and orientation problems may occur.

Navigation - Intermittent satellite  navigation (GPS) problems,
including loss-of-lock and increased range error  may occur.

Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be  intermittent.

Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania to  Iowa to  Oregon.
