Solar Tsunami heading for earth at 93 million miles per hour!

There was a massive explosion on the Sun's surface this weekend, estimated to be of the size of our planet Earth, which created a massive storm like tsunami of charged particles travelling across the space at 93 million mph. It was expected to reach earth on Aug 3 with affects observable on Aug 4th in the form of Northern lights or aurora. One could witness these by looking out for bright green and bluish dancing lights in the direction of North during the night sky.

Here's the video feed as recorded by NASA:
