Time Sensitive: Latest on Recent CME.

An excellent explanation of Geomagnetic storms here:

Thread: *** SOLAR FLARE POWER GRID FAILURE EXPLAINED *** Read on and be prepared

Holy guacamole! I can't sleep ~ keep thinking I am sensing something odd. SHTF ??

ooooohhhhh.... spooky.

I did that and it came up to the exact minute.... THIS exact minute.


just a little scary.

The Converter site does not show when the CME will hit. It simply converts timezones. That way you can find what time it may be when it hits Earth.

why u no feel pressure nict?

Hitting Hong Kong right now...nothing doing...atm.

We don't know when it will be hitting exactly. The Baseline of 10:00 AM GMT is an approximation. We still have about 7 hours to go until we are in the clear.

The CME will hit Earth. It is just a matter of how severe the Geomagnetic storms will be. Besides, it is not yet 10:00 AM in England.

"...they may have merged into a single cloud that could produce significant storming when they reach Earth on August 5th at 10:00 UT (plus or minus 7 hours). A new model of all 3 CMEs is now available; stay tuned for updates."

im on lookout nw washington usa

me too with a pretty sweet camera but not staying up 7 hours....

For the baseline time as predicted, it will be 6:00 AM there in Washington DC or 3:00 AM in Washington state.

Even after 6:00 AM EST, we still have about 7 hours to go.

Does your camera have an extended exposure? Or a shutter sequence thing where you can set an exposure interval?

Back on topic, it may take awhile for it to hit. In this graphic we are the yellow dot to the right.

It will run into our planet. Just a matter of when and what it will do.

Upstate NY - Same here

to spread the word.

so what time is the treat considered over? (sorry, im not really good with time zones and stuff)

that should say threat....sorry bout that

My wife just woke me up and complained her vibrator stopped working. Figured it was an EMP pulse or something like that.
Has the CME hit already?

about 4:20 am here ... :bonghit:

I doubt it. If it hit and did that, it would also affect cell phone communications and possibly land line phones.

Take 10:00 AM GMT and add 7 hours. That makes it 5:00 PM over there in England. 10:00 AM is the estimated time. The Seven hours before and after is the window in which the CME will hit.

It's just a matter if it does anything. As of now, geomagnetic storms can be severe.

Please go to that Time Converter site. Put in 5:00 PM GMT time and select your time zone from the second drop down (lowest) list. Convert and that is the time any threat is over.

England? Is that what it says for my country? I'm in the Eastern U.S....

When will the world just learn to convert everything to EST? Nobody else matters.

I already converted it since I too live on the East Coast. It is 6 AM today for our time here. The outer most part of the "window" is 1:00 PM today.

thanks, good to know

You are welcome. Nothing will happen probably. We are getting towards that what I called the "baseline time." That time being 10:00 AM GMT (6:00 AM here on the East coast.)

It is important to know that the entire planet will be hit all at once. There is no dodging it. Time zones do not determine when it hits. Time zones are a way of measuring when it will hit, not the cause of the impact.

that would be in 8 minutes

We know it will hit because of our satellites and ground based detection facilities. The worse that would happen is the power grid being temporarily messed up. That is my guess.

I have no idea what "..they may have merged into a single cloud that could produce significant storming when they reach Earth..." means.

"Storming" means Geomagnetic storms:

One hour to go.
