X-FLARE ALERT

23 Tamuz 5772

There have been periodic electrical outages around the globe due to various causes recently. I think it is a warning that if we don't clean up our act, the lights may go out for good. So far, these are just warnings.

'Extreme' solar flare erupts, looks like storm is headed to Earth

A heavy-duty solar flare erupted on the surface of the sun midmorning Thursday, and it appeared from early data that a solar storm from the X-class eruption was headed toward Earth.

The R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout today at 12:49 EDT (1649 UTC) was accompanied by an earth-directed CME. Hampered by limited observations of the event, SWPC forecasters are now anticipating the passage of the [coronal mass ejection] around 1:00 a.m. EDT, Saturday, July 14. G1 (minor) Geomagnetic Storm activity is expected to then ensue through the rest of the day.
