Well, the much-forecast Kp=5 event didn't happen overnight, the actual Kp only briefly reaching 3. Periods of Kp=5 are forecast for the next couple of days, but they will likely be very brief, and probably weaker in reality.
Even so, 14MHz long path WSPR signals from VK3QN suffered considerably, with a vastly suppressed (by at least 20dB) long path peak signal, compared with quiet geomagnetic field conditions a few days ago:
