I know you could see the aurora all over the place but did it actually cause any damage anywhere?

As far as I'm aware, it caused some temporary GPS interruptions but no permanent damage this time.

I was traveling across the state on those two days, so I was worried about GPS getting weird, but we didn't have any issues.

From what I read it affected some farming equipment, I figure it was relatively local interference and not a global thing too.

Apparently it "disrupted" Starlink, but hasn't permanently destroyed any of their satellites like the CME in 2022 did.
