Ghi, without researching this what are the potential outcomes next week? I'm guessing cell phone problems. When is the last time this happened?

It means the end of the world is upon us. Run to the hills and make happiness with all the sheep before it's too late.

Yes, run for the hills, kiss that hot chick at the Piggly Wiggly before the day of doom hits...but other than these items, what could we expect?

It means I can still go sailing this weekend...

Welcome to solar maximum.

Are we not currently in solar minimum, ramping up to soalr max in 4-8 years? That was one of the anti-end-of-the-world reasons. We were in the solar minimum cycle.

....Our sun is like a bubble gum bubble.... going to pop all over us with-out warning.

I'm not sure you want to be in direct sunlight when the flares are line of sight to you.

We are at solar maximum right now, and the biggest for more than a hundred years.
