From the Japanese NICT site ... a magnetosphere view of the solar storm impacting earth today (march 8 2012) -- the solar storm was listed as strong by the space weather prediction center.. yet the magnetosphere shows very little excitement for the amount of energy that was supposed to come our way --- maybe a late arrival? Maybe thats all she wrote.

Usually we see an earthquake increase after such events.. usually within a few days after the flare / CME / storm takes place.
