since it's now past 11.00 GMT I assume the worst is over.

Nothing happened.

Program on Horizon about this the other night. Seems that if they keep the UK grid fully connected there is less chance of any damage.

Lets just hope its not large enough to fry everything electronic. Imagine if the chip in my coffee maker were to go -

A strong solar storm is expected to hit Earth shortly

Drive backed up, UPS active. Bring it on.

BBC News - Fears of disruption as big solar storm set to hit Earth

A strong solar storm is expected to hit Earth shortly, and experts warn it could disrupt power grids, satellite navigation and plane routes.

The storm - the largest in five years - will unleash a torrent of charged particles between 06:00 GMT and 10:00 GMT, US weather specialists say.

They say it was triggered by a pair of massive solar flares earlier this week.

It means there is a good chance of seeing the northern lights at lower latitudes, if the skies are clear.
