Solar Flares are erupting from the surface of the sun and this is causing a solar storm that may or may not cause issues with satellites, GPS, and the power grid.

Well..... I went out and looked - and it seems to be so dark and overcast that I couldn't see ANYTHING in the sky. Anyone else see something?

My Outlook has been fine all day - but the Simcoe radio station cut out frequently this late morning

Went out a couple times last night, but saw no celestial activity! Did anyone?
