There was a very marked energy (and physical?) shift on 3 November, and I could feel it on my skin. It was like having an ion storm bombard the body for a good several hours. Not fun at all, but otherwise tolerable. Some head pressure but nothing severe ~ I had to remind myself to maintain electrolyte levels.
When I checked the charts on 3 November, they did not yield any visible recording of Planetary energy fluctuations but then by the next day onwards, they started to register.

NOT ALL THE LIGHTS WERE AURORAS: At the apex of the storm, bright lights danced across the skies of northern Europe. Not all the lights were auroras. "To our utter amazement we observed a striking phenomenon," reports Martin McKenna of Swatragh, N. Ireland. "It was STEVE!"
A lot of field disturbances:
