First effects coming now at geostationary orbit as the magnetosheath is compressed at the Goes satellites by the CME. This first CME is not going to be the biggest.

CME update
It's always dangerous to try to live-report events like this. It's looking like we're only just seeing the "hairy edge" of the first CME which was never well placed to strike a direct hit. The solar wind is pretty lack-lustre right now and it seems it won't cause as much impact as first thought. A small bump is now arriving at Earth but it's not looking very impressive.
The second CME may come within hours and should be a lot stronger. I'll probably not be awake for it.
Aurora is visible on a camera over Iceland now, fighting a bright moon.
