Another interesting occurrence was K5HFG hearing one of those near-instantaneous signal peaks from W4DEX on SSB:
18:03 K5HFG: Had a short burst from W4DEX @ 57 and now back to 51
We've had multiple reports of this on CW but this is the first on SSB. Hearing those peaks on CW left some question as to the actual source of the peaks, i.e. another station on frequency hitting their key. Hearing the peak on SSB confirms the source. Thunderstorms were well off the NC,SC,GA coast.
"COSMIC RAY UPDATE: Something ironic is happening in Earth's atmosphere. Solar activity is low--very low. Yet atmospheric radiation is heading in the opposite direction. Cosmic rays percolating through the air around us are at a 5 year high."

17:31 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX SSB 5/9 +5
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING W4DEX IN MY NOISE I HAVE A N ADDITIONAL NOISE TO THE SOUTH OF 20 DB
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING AB4AM TALKING TO W4DEX
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: HERING KG0VL AVBOVE MY EXCESS NOISE TODAY
17:31 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL weak, about 50% SSB copy
17:32 K5HFG: I copy AB4AM and KG0VL
17:32 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM S5 to S9
17:32 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL Q5 5/7 to 5/5
17:32 K5HFG: cpy W4DEX very light
17:32 AB4AM-ROB: K4FI 5/9 +5
17:33 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM and W4DEX up and down on SSB from Q5 to noise and back
17:35 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II is very weak here on SSB
17:35 WW8II-BRUCE: QSB ON EVERYONE
17:36 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL 579 TO 599
17:36 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL 559
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL 579 ON INVERTED V AND 599 ON THE SAL
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: NOTING SLOW QSB ON KG0VL 549
17:37 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL nice solid 579, very little QSB detected
17:37 K4FI-DOUG: Hearing KG0VL about Q3
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL BACK TO 599
17:38 K5HFG: copy KG0VL 539/559 for 1 minute, now 529
17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM STARTED AT 529 QSB NOW TO 579
17:39 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM STILL 579
17:39 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM 599
17:39 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM 539 on peaks
17:40 K5HFG: copy AB4AM 579/589 for the entire duration
17:41 K4FI-DOUG: Hearing K5HFG Q 2-3 First time
17:41 WW8II-BRUCE: POSSIBLE K5HFG DEEP IN THE NOISE
17:41 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG initially 319, then QSB into the noise
17:41 AB4AM-ROB: K5HFG 579 - 599 on inverted V 579 on Flag
17:41 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG back up at end 539
17:42 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL constant
17:42 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX 559 ON THE INVERTED V
17:43 KG0VL-JEFF: Heard K5HFG at the initial 30 seconds then lost him altogether
17:43 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX 599+10 on inverted V
17:44 KG0VL-JEFF: Heard K5HFG better that time around
17:44 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX w/K5HFG
17:44 K5HFG: copy DEX 539/ 579/529
17:45 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG marginal but complete CW exchange for the first time
17:46 AB4AM-ROB: WW8II 459 to the noise
17:46 K4FI-DOUG: Now hearing Bruce S2-3
17:46 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 579 and loud
17:47 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II 579 with one fast QSB down to 539
17:47 K5HFG: Just heard WW8II briefly at the end
17:48 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM SSB now S9+++
17:49 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM steady SSB signal now
17:50 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING KG0VL 59 AND DO NOT HEAR AB4AM
17:50 K4FI-DOUG: Copied KG0VL solid on SSB
17:51 AB4AM-ROB: Q5 copy on K4FI and KG0VL
17:52 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING KG0VL 57 K4FI IN THE NOISE
17:52 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL still good copy
17:54 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING W4DEX 51
17:54 WW8II-BRUCE: LOTS OF QSB TO THE SOUTH
17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: I COPY KG0VL CALLING K5HFG BUT NO COPY ON K5HFG
17:57 KG0VL-JEFF: Very odd conditions today
17:57 W4DEX-DEX: Hearing K5HFG SSB but no copy
17:57 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL WAS 59 LAST HEARD
18:00 WW8II-BRUCE: DEEP QSB BUT KG0VL IS ALWAYS Q5 +
18:01 AB4AM-ROB: Hearing W4DEX, K4FI, KG0VL, and WW8II now lol
18:03 K5HFG: Had a short burst from DEX @ 57 and now back to 51
