Default Effects of solar storm on VHF

Just wondered if the VHF frequencies get affected same as HF during the
solar flareups?

In general, HF reception becomes very poor while VHF can be enhanced.
This is why the amateur radio people like to do 2-meter (VHF) DX'ing
during a geomagnetic storm with an aurora.

Last night (Thursday) I was receiving VHF aero comms on 128 - 134 MHz from
about 200 miles out here on Long Island, NY.

That's normal. How about ground based stuff?
