This is strong, could cause lights out not only northern lights deep south; first wave to hit the Earth at 09:00am ET, tomorrow morning:

I really do wish I understood what that chart is telling me. I find it quite interesting but its juuuuuuuuust a bit over my head lol
-
Power gonna be knocked out in the southern states? lol stupid question but I'll ask anyway also....

I was telling my GF about this earlier and she said " Will it destabilise the Earths core" :rofl

Possibly, we wouldn't know, the general public wouldn't know til the last second :noid

mm pretty colors
this is probably the end of the world though
-
I should get a good look from 30,000ft. :aok
-
Looks like a good one. C2 and C3 got the fuzzies shortly after the burst. Wonder how its going to screw up DX radio transmissions.

looks like an animation of the flare from different perspectives, note the position of the planets. 1st is top down on solar system, second is with fixed view of earth, third is some sort of projection map?
-
Yawn.
-
Damn, we just got our power back after 72 hours without, and now you're telling me it could go out again?
F**k you nature :bhead.
-
I'm just waiting till we get a flare big enough to kill all the communication/GPS/whatever satellites and leave the modern world in chaos so I can run off to the mountains and live Dick Proenneke or Marty Stouffer style.
I hate civilization. :mad:

you can go right now. nobody is stopping you, you need directions to the wild? :D.

Looks like the Martians are gonna get hit too.

Au contraire, remember when scientists thought that they'd discovered aliens? The story was all over the news within hours. If the sand hits the fan, then the truth will always get out.

People are freaking out over the end of the world too much. I mean, it will happen and it could be anytime. I believe it will end, I don't believe that we can predict it. I mean what if were reading the day backwards 5105. :devil
I'm not going to worry about it because there's nothing we can do about it. If everybody dies no ones going to miss you, so don't worry. :banana:

Poor little guys. Haven't they suffered enough?

I'm curious what happens to people in direct sunlight during this.

With an event like this.. Nothing. I could have some effect if you were at one of the poles but not at the lower latitudes where people live.

they go blind and the triffids will take over.

Nothing. The atmosphere will block any harmful radiation to humans.
Shortwave radio could be interrupted, and satellites could be affected by drag, and other communication problems.
The increase in sensitive electronics, and a dependence upon satellites and wireless communication, could however cause major problems. For example, a networked powergrid.
-
There is an issue if no backup is present. It's like taking an iPhone but no compass while hiking. If the iPhone, much like the other sensistive electronics in the power grid, can fail. If there is no compass, or simpler, more durable backup to act as an interim solution while the sensitive electronics come back online then the sand has really hit the fan.

Save up money for a new computer, your microchips are not radiation resistant. :devil

Nah, he has a GPS

If they stay out in the sun and do not move at all to absorb maximum radiation, they run a serious risk of loosing a whole day of their life.

Do they lose teh night also?

you guys who are "ZOMG ITS 2012!" do realize that they miscalculated the Mayan calendar by 208 years right? it ends on 2220. :rofl
-
also, from looking at the charts it doesnt look like the flare hit us? :headscratch:

i can look outside and tell that the solar flare didnt hit us :rofl.

The solar flare caused Daddkev to boil due to nakedness.

Yourin calender might but mayan don't. :neener:

Dadkev is dayglo white..... it simply reflected off.

If people are going to run around like Chicken Little over a solar flare or series of solar flares then it's no different than when people cowered in fear of a solar eclipse in ancient times, believing the end of the world was at hand.
All this over some solar wind and increased Aurora Borealis?
Read a book now and then for Pete's sake.

I live on the beach and go boating and fishing as often as most here go a convenience store.
That's my reason for inquiring about danger.
-
Lockheed Martin was hit by it and was having troubles with their phone system. I called today to get a breifing and could barely hear the guy but he could hear me fine. I barely heard him saying it was due to the solar flare and then he switched me over to another briefer.

Those satellites are more shielded and less likely to go down than transformers down on earth.

Past couple of days have been awesome for skip shooters. I was in Kansas making contacts with Russia and Norway. Lots of noise on the 10 and 11 meter bands.
