tomasgod1  User ID: 11714381 United States03/08/2012 11:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This M6.3 flare shows up great on EVE SAM. Sunspot Region 1429.  A CME from this Region now would be directly earth facing. We will be looking for the first signs of a eruption from around the solar disk. _______ Blog [link to mysolaralerts.blogspot.com] YouTube Channel [link to www.youtube.com] "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9258796 United States03/08/2012 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess what I really mean is this it? Or is this likely not enough to cause massive grid damage? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9258796 I personally do not think this is it. I do think solar activity will progressively increase as we move into the future. But then, I am basically just a stupid chimp with a keyboard in these matters. What does your gut tell you? Z Gut feeling is that this CME will only prolong the amount of time we are a little vulnerable to a MASSIVE Flare+CME combo, but we probably won't suffer massive damage for a while. Thinking by the end of this year. |

"Death Star" <Creepy> Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9849234 wow, strange size correlations, and odd that the word star is in it...  GET SAVED: Thread: Are you SAVED from DAMNATION? "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." -- Galatians 5:14-26 |

These constant hits on the magnetosphere at this time of stark mass media coverage of sun activity is not a coincidence IMO. We are building toward a solar max and everybody knows it.

All who live anywhere in the vicinity of this line trajectory should be wary next 5 hours. Have escape plan ready and seek open terrain in the event of felt tremor. Secure most of your heavy objects and belongings around your home. Namaste, Hopefully I am wrong. Or it hits an unpopulated area. Japan and Haiti are also likely targets. Be wary. |
