  Keep in mind that these are earth wide predictions, with many factors at play.
For example, if EU is facing the solar ejection then they get plenty and we may get only a little (if any) result.
Additionally, even if the Americas face the incoming waves, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field vector (Bz) is at play.  More information >>here<<.  We want a "negative" Bz value to see the best outcome for VHFers.
I'm simply informing; not being a naysayer.  It is these sort of things that make our hobby so interesting (to me, anyway) and give us insights that the general public lacks.
Track stuff on SpaceWeather.com (including the value of Bz).
