There's an R3 level radio blackout on the sunlit side of the earth. I don't know how big the solar flare was yet but there's nothing anywhere at the moment.

I was beginning to suspect something like that because at 1700z, I couldn't pick up WWCR, VOA, BBC, or REE.

Hurricane Irma is to blame. From their Facebook page:


Quote
2045 UTC Sunday, September 10 - About 15 minutes ago we had sudden tropical
storm force winds at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee and our electrical
power went down.  We have a generator to power the control room and essential
operations, but all transmitters are off the air.  However, you can still hear
our 9955 kHz programming on the audio player on our webpage, www.wrmi.net and
via services such as TuneIn, Streema and Radio Garden.  We'll have more
information here on Facebook as the hurricane develops.
