I to have had a strange ringing in my ears, but it's more like a high pitch tone, can't tell where it is coming from, and it only seems to come at night. I have no idea what this is.edit on 14-1-2011 by Truth3r because: (no reason given)edit on 14-1-2011 by Truth3r because: (no reason given)
A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole should reach Earth on Jan. 19th or 20th. Credit: SDO/AIA.
From May 10-12, 1999, the solar wind that blows constantly from the Sun virtually disappeared -- the most drastic and longest-lasting decrease ever observed. Dropping to a fraction of its normal density and to half its normal speed, the solar wind died down enough to allow physicists to observe particles flowing directly from the Sun's corona to Earth. This severe change in the solar wind also changed the shape of Earth's magnetic field and produced an unusual auroral display at the North Pole.
A large coronal hole on the Sun has opened up releasing large amounts of charged particles sometimes referred to as 'solar winds'. Then this flow of particles hits the Earth's magnetic field, it has a direct effect on ocean and jet stream currents.
Watch for an increase in extreme weather over the next 72 - 96 hours. On the North American continent, the most vulnerable areas would be the Pacific North West, and yes, California.
