Acording to NOAA scales page for geomagnetic storms this is a K-index of 4 (Kp = 4) which is on the G1 scale. Here's what it reads:
Power systems: Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.
Spacecraft operations: Minor impact on satellite operations possible.
Other systems: Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels; aurora is commonly visible at high latitudes (northern Michigan and Maine).
