Fears of disruption as big solar storm set to hit Earth.. Suntards rejoice

Tin foil jock cup installed.

Space Weather Message Code: WATA50
Serial Number: 43
Issue Time: 2012 Mar 07 1742 UTC

WATCH: Geomagnetic A-index of 50 or greater predicted
NOAA Scale: Periods reaching the G3 (Strong) Level Likely
Valid for UTC Day: 2012 Mar 08
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 50 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon.

has the worst part of this hit gone past us ?

No.The window is 8 hours until impact starting at 2 am eastern.Rest assured it is on the way and will impact in the next few hours.

It's being reported in our media that it's about to hit but I'm having trouble loading the article to read the exact details so thought I'd drop in here for info. So I'm guessing it will hit us all at the same time? Perhaps to different extents depending on what part of the globe you are on.

its hitting now, pressure building fast... lets hope we can hold

My Wind Speed is not updating at SOHO??

so we are just seeing the start of the hit?
are the readings showing it to be getting stronger then?
so far whats the take on this, doom averted or doom still on?

SOHO seems to be 'faked' or inoperative? Japan already has poweroutages, where else?

Got them here in Honolulu about an hour ago. The whole city went dark for a 10-15 seconds, nothing else since then though.

pressure is low, wind speeds normal, it would take a major change for any doom to happen. pretty safe to say nothing will be noticed from this cme.

the soho is "near realtime" and slower than ACE.

Near real time 35 minuets ago?

Are we getting another flare now??

please back up the japan claim. And power outage of 15 seconds is not grid failure, just coincidence.

so anyone from vancouver BC what should be expected

OF COURSE SOHO IS FAKED (I wish it was only SOHO..)

SOHO = NASA

N-ever
A-a
S-traight
A-nswer


clear enought ??

your probably further north than any of us... any aurora?

explore and read the site like i did. maybe youll understand.

People there is another flare in progress. Still rising.

shit yeah we are. let's see how high she goes...

The only reason I care is because my love is in the UK and I'm stuck in the US. I don't want to lose the internets...

Well, I suppose I could make it a day..
or two..

Check out the proton chart for the last 7 days.Notice what happened an hour ago.

SOHO just updated. wind speed and proton density still rising..

until it becomes an x class there is absolutely NOTHING to worry about.

Thanks, I'll sleep well now... bed time, goodnighty all

nothing yet that i can see currently 12:53 am
