CME watch

Nothing seems to be happening..

From my point of view here in blighty, that's okay, because we're heading north to do some Aurora spotting, so the later it hits the better.. but I was under the impression we were going to get it at 09.00UT, which is 9.00am right?

I've been watching the KP index and the solar wind, and it's as quiet as a kitten...

Yet another non event..

Yes, very quiet. Hoping for a good chance to see the northern lights

I was hoping for a Carrington event.

Probably, but you really can't say that when it hasn't arrived yet.

Are we certain it hasn't arrived yet?
Is it possible it missed us/they got the forecast wrong?

Doubtful, plenty of ppl just here on GLP watching it, there's a huge thread on solar stuff.

CME was supposed to arrive around 5:17 EST or 2:17 PST. Supposedly, as some people were speculating, there were to be some power outages and other problems. Auroral map on NOAA Space Weather Now shows nothing out of the ordinary at both the N and S poles. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Non-event, so far?

Still not here yet....

Sun just likes to mess with us....he's laughing right now.

it got pulled over for speeding

Yeah, NASA said could be very problematic and NOAA said no worries. They disagreed on outcome here.

Since when does NASA or even NOAA get TIMING RIGHT??? We should all know better?? I don't think the CME has hit yet? I would say that they are usually off of about 4-6 hours???

The x1 still shows up on the 24hr max at space weather despite the fact it was 2 days ago...

Should be anytime now then.. right? ..right guys?

+/- 7 hours

I dont know what to think anymore.You follow stuff for years,not meaning just what this topic is about,but everything in general and nothing seems to be as we were led to believe.
We have studied radiation effects in school for example and had it preached into our head we would all die if something like Chernobyl or Fukushima and yet we are all still here and in the same shape for the most part.Yes it affected some tragically but not on the scope we were taught in school.
We hear all the time about flares,cme s etc and hardly anything ever happens.
Now I am left wondering if we are brought into this world with fear pushed at us from the time we are old enough to understand until we die.
Somehow I just dont think thats what life was suppose to be.Yes I prepare for natural disasters and I keep food ahead for a month but I think from here on out its just going to be one day at a time for me.
