Terrorism? no. Earthquake! Fast moving Coronal Mass Ejection to snap Interplanetary Magnet 9/11

well folks, just when you thought it was safe to change your diaper re: "unconfirmed but credible 9/11 terrorist threats," our good friends at NASA via SolarIMG have indicated that around 9/11/11 a fast moving Coronal Mass Ejection will interact with Coronal Hole Wind Stream to snap the Interplanetary Magnetic Field over Earth.

From SolarIMG

Recent X and M flares have already sent particles to the Earth and the slow moving Coronal Mass Ejections (or CMEs) have cleared the solar wind creating the conditions for a “fast mover” (not quite different from Ocean waves which have been crazy lately!) that will snap the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) right over the Earth very fast from a Coronal Hole Wind Stream (CHWS). This will be the one to watch, folks. The arrival will take place approx 9/11/11.

why worry?

the recent X flare is one of the largest earth-facing flares for the year, and activity over the last week easily some of the most impressive for the entire solar cycle.

this type of activity has preceded some of the largest earthquakes of the year including that which struck Japan tragically in March. The possible connection between sun activity/upper earth weather and earthquakes is still very poorly understood and its certainly no exact science. However increasingly sophisticated measurement of solar weather patterns and the atmosphere by SOHO, STEREO, et al has strengthened observations by curious minds.

what else tends to happen inside of these space weather patterns? irrational human behavior! As a follower of both world markets and space weather, I've observed (amongst others) a strange correlation between flares and extreme market volatility. The most recent sell off of early august was flanked by two M-class and on X-class flare.

check out this iSWAC Cygnet to see the trajectory of the most recent CME

Lets be positive but prepared for anything this weekend! I, for one, work in times square and have welcomed the lack of tourists and traffic today (police are stopping/searching large trucks/vans before they enter the square). the peace and quiet is a nice break from the normal cacophony of horns and teenagers screaming at their fav pop stars.

pleasant weekend all! Cheers.

I have to ask...

What is different about this one?

Correct me if I am wrong but the X-flare a few weeks ago was stronger than the one we have on the way now. We got by without a scratch from a bigger one, why now will we have problems with a smaller one. I do not see the distinction.

If in fact this is the case, what would the "snap" involve for the people of the planet? Is this when electronics goes down?

We will have a full moon on September 12th to put a nice cherry on that sundae.
If these solar flares really do affect human behavior, with the full moon added, I'm betting we'll be seeing some interesting topics posted here over this weekend.

OMG people, if you are IT guy make sure your Iron Mountain backups are up to date. If you are backing up to tape and we get hit hard enough your data will be gone.

Sounds to me like NASA is trying to cover their arses about something.

Who knows, maybe this :

quakes

and terrorism (esp with the USA's military/defense budget and all :@@

are no longer necessarily independent of another.

It seems there's a lot heating up on our little blue rock these days - not surprising to see the Sun join!

Skewed- you could be absolutely right, there may be no distinction and nothing notable may happen in regards to EQs. i just felt like it deserved emphasis given its synchronicity with the 9/11 date... after all, this is ATS, no?

lol. and what better cover for a HAARP solo than an already disturbed ionosphere? sure helps to keep them guessing!

also, in regards to disctinctions: multiple x class ejections and interactions with coronal holes and IMF snaps. august was one X class with other M classes.

That video is a bit scary... I hope he's wrong.

Grab your popcorn, and watch the world burn with me people.

Well, if the power is still on for me to be able to use a microwave

Earthquakes, floods, power outages, Alien invasion, natural disasters, bombs, epidemics, and massive starvation....

If half the prophecies for 9-11 are true, we're in for one hell of a ride...

Don't forget economic collapse

Tinker, The vid claims Elenin hasn't developed a tail but on the last picture it shows it with a tail.

There's no proof it has slowed down or even broken up. The stereo images still show the same old Elenin. The orbit given on NASA Buzzroom should already freak you out if you are concerned about it hitting us. I'm not though.

It could be Jesus leading The Destroyer/Planet X/Nibiru, who the people from Nibiru, N-ibiru, Ibiru, Ibrew, The Hebrew, came from.

No, not todays Jews, they are of Khazar descent. They will be cleansed just like all of us if it is to be so. If nothing, great, I can rebuild my Suzuki Swift GTi with medium compression pistons and small turbo...and have me a little monster.

If I understand your video then the calculation is off. When it loops back the solar wind will be more likely to speed it up than slow it down so it should cross earth orbit before we get there.

So what's the deal with the interplanetary magnetic field snapping,it does this frequently.The aurora borealis gives claim to this,or am I missing something completely?
Source

The earth sits in the magnetic field of the solar wind, which drags out the magnetic field of the sun to the neighborhood of the earth. The magnetic field lines in the polar regions of the earth connect to the interplanetary magnetic field lines, which are being carried past the earth away from the sun at high speeds by the solar wind. When the interplanetary magnetic field is southward (as is the case here) it can connect easily to the earth's magnetic field, which emerges from the south geographic pole of the earth. Energy from the solar wind flow then goes into stretching the reconnected field lines into the "magnetic tail" of the earth. Eventually those field lines "break" and snap back toward the earth on the nightside. It is this process transferring solar wind energy into magnetic energy and thence into energy flowing into the earth's atmosphere as the magnetic field lines "snap" that drives the aurora. The aurora occur at the feet of the "last closed field line", which defines the auroral oval.

It looks like a full moon now.

Not to panic, but we ARE approaching the solar maximum.

Thanks for clearing up that "snap" issue. I was not clear on what that meant. ATS rocks.
Nothing to see here. Move along....

So we have this incoming,

and it seems they have already had a 'test' in the last few days in the US West
where the power went out 'somehow'????

a full on blackout?
in a society entirely reliant on electricity.
