Hide! Geomagnetic Storms OTW

Earth Sky News reports a large sunspot is facing earth and gives us, " a 75% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms on April 13 when a solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field." ,
So this is how it all ends?

I've actually seen bigger sunspots myself through binoculars. Have I told that story here before? It'll tell it again, regardless:

We'd stopped at Port of Dammam in Saudi Arabia one morning for a break. Most of us were taking a nap but I looked at the sun. You could look straight at the sun back then- the smoke in the air from the Kuwait oil fires acting kinda like the smoked glass you'd use to watch eclipses.

I thought I noticed a spot on the sun so grabbed my compact binoculars from my rucksack and took a closer look. Yep. There was a spot, just like the one in the picture- about the same size,a nyway. But there was also a much larger one shaped like an hourglass next to it. Pretty neat seeing it with the naked eye. I passed the bincolars around so everyone else could take a look.

I don't know if we had geomagnetic storms as a result of those sunspots but I suppose that means not too much threat from this one since the ones I saw were bigger.
