All HF bands are dead, wed afternoon NJ USA
 

It's now 21:14 zulu, and aside from one local QSO on 80m, everything
is dead on HF. Of course, I wouldn't expect much from 80 and 40 right now,
but 20, 15 and 10 are very dead right now. Some QRN (about s-2),
little QRM and no QSOs.

Twenty was dead Wednesday afternoon as I drove home; then
this morning the VKs are rolling in on 14226.5 as usual,
and there were a bunch of other signals audible--I'm hoping
the worst of the disruption is over!

Hi,

Another side effect of blackouts "Geomagnetic Storms Can Threaten Electric
Power Grid"

Very interesting.
