Don't you dare! That hat is protecting the entire Internet, all by itself right now.

Besides, you look like a fresh hot dog from a hot dog vending cart.

My cat is running around the house like a nutter. She usally curls up and sleeps on the couch this time of night. Then again she might have sipped my lift plus.

data from ACE doesnt show much change.
If that is true,dam,we aer in for a big one

I don't know, when it shot up the images also were showing high pressure (look at 9:11:33)
On ACE, it is hard to tell how high the speed goes, because the graph doesn't go high enough (does it say 289.8 km/s? I can't trust my eyes anymore...) The other starts at 300 km/s .

But it suddenly calmed down.... but like, REALLY calmed down? I have never seen it like that.... can these create the same kind of effect like a tsunami does, where there is a moment of the water being pulled out and creating a void first? Maybe that sounds totally stupid- I will be the first to say I am ignorant in this area!

From the latest picture of 1429 doesn't look like a 5.3 could be in progress at peak or downside peak or....

Here is the same data on another scale

Our lights just blinked here... which is SUPER rare.. Lou. Ky....
Anyone else getting power oddities?


The proton count is increasing... here she comes!

Looks like we have another flare erupting right now, heading towards M class as I type...

Here's the link to the GOES X-ray flux graph:

Difference between M class and X class, please

Just went up a little again, 'here it comes' ?

Sure hope it doesn't become an X class... that would be the third, and thats when really bad things happen... (Power stations, Sat's with the first 2 hits build up a charge. they can deal with it to a point, but a third would really mess with things.)

Getting interesting!

My dog is sleeping. Looks like nothing is coming our way yet. Otherwise he would be going in circles and going crazy.

eh i think this could be an interesting night... the only thing is, im done with my 6 pk of corona... n all the stores are closed

This is hilarious.

Its now trending on twitter.

Everything single thing that is happening on the planet now is being blamed on the solar storm.

From cats farting to clouds appearing in the sky.

All i know is my internet recption has never been better.
