To believe that would mean we'd have to trust the government.

I'd rather panic and rob a liquor store thank you very much!

Light weight. Rob a pharmacy. What are you thinking?

a reply to: redhorse

I would, but I don't have a prescription!

Duh!

From your own stupid link:

24 hr Summary... Solar activity was very low. Region 2659 (N14W45, Dai/beta) exhibited areal growth and spot development this period but remained largely unproductive. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

How many of these things have hit the Earth, and all its critters, both great and small, were all unknowing? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Even millions (though that seems unlikely, I don't know.)?

...and to repeat the question, which is rather pertinent, bug out where?

To a cave somewhere deep in the Tennessee mountains? That'll have to wait 'til I'm actually in Tennessee...

The last two I know of were in 1859 and 1989. The 1859 one allowed telegraph operators to send messages even without any power supply connected to the lines. Even the telegraph poles themselves were sparking.

The 1989 one caused a power failure in the USA and Canada.

Today, the USA had some severe storms including a late blizzard:

The South Coast of the UK had an amazing lightning storm:

And British Airways had a power supply problem that crashed their central booking system.

Bugout where?

If it's hitting the earth, where's a person supposed to go?

That was my question?? So what weekend trip to mars??

A giant fissure has opened across the sun and is spewing rapid solar winds toward our planet. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory got wind of the massive hole Friday morning. This coronal hole is a vast region where the sun’s magnetic field tears apart, allowing solar wind to escape.

US President Barack Obama was forced to issue a chilling warning to the nation in preparation for devastating space storms earlier this year. He said: “Extreme space weather events — those that could significantly degrade critical infrastructure — could disable large portions of the electrical power grid, resulting in cascading failures that would affect key services such as water supply, health care, and transportation. “Space weather has the potential to simultaneously affect and disrupt health and safety across entire continents.”

You guys have got me in stitches.

I like spaceweather.com for news about the sun. OP's post was a glancing blow that caused some aurora activity.

There was a magnetic ring lifting off the surface the other day looked scary but nothing came of it.

It's about frigging time!

Is it really a real threat?

a reply to: tomans

clearly not it would have hit us weeks ago and nothing happened (as usual)
