The experts at SpaceWeather.com reported:

“A CME passed close to Earth on July 1st. It did not directly strike our planet’s magnetic field.”

Scientists had predicted that a “near miss” might have implications for the globe’s magnetic field.

“Instead, it made itself known by “snowplowing” dense plasma in our direction,” the SpaceWeather.com experts said.

According to the website, in Upper Midwest states like Minnesota and further west in the state of Washington there were some issues.
