If you'd like to hear what it sounds like when it hits the earth go here:

That's a recording of a receiver in Arizona on 22 mhz (shortwave)
The increased noise floor is the coronal mass ejection affecting the radio waves.

FYI this is very interesting as we're currently at the bottom of a 11 year sunspot cycle...where this type of stuff typically doesn't happen. The x6 today followed a X9 on the 5th which is a really bad storm. It's just hitting Earth today.

Don't these solar "storms" also cause increased levels of borealis visibilty? I would think that the northern lights, and possibly the southern lights as well would be much more active.
