It is going to hurt anyone though scientists say it could interfere with the power grid and with the GPS.
The fun part of a possible geomagnetic storm is that the Northern lights could be seen in places farther South than usual, places that rarely get a glimpse of aurora borealis.

This happens above the magnetic poles in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and they form when gases particles in the Earth's atmosphere collide with charges particles release from the sun, electrons and protons from the sun are blown toward the Earth by the solar wind.
These are carried towards Earth, most of them are deflected by Earth's magnetic field.
The magnetic field is weaker at the poles, allowing some of the particles to funnel into the Earth's atmosphere.
The vibrant colors produced are determined by the type of gases that are colliding and the result is a Northern light and common green and yellow, less common blue and violet, even rare reds painting the night sky and ribbons, arcs or shooting rays.
Oxygen produces green and red light, while nitrogen gives off blue and purple. The best time of year to view the light show is during the Winter months, when the nights are longer, under a cloud free sky, away from light pollution.
