My main issue with it being a cme is solar wind speed is still very low and plasma density is too...

Not huge, but each elevated. I think the real concern is the proton count. Seriously.

Seriously. It is not from the sun...

What do you think it's from then? And I'm not being douchey, I'm being serious. Because I agree with you that based on the available information the recent solar weather shouldn't be impacting us to this degree...

Re: We are getting hammered by something...
Holy shit, I thought I just smoked too much weed!

The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval. The label 'K' comes from the German word 'Kennziffer' meaning 'characteristic digit.' The K-index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1938.

Re: We are getting hammered by something...
There are 8 Sun Spots showing. There are two of them that are active right now. We ar currently under a geomagnatic storm from an m class flare. More could be in the ofting.

Go to Spaceweather.com for all the details. They even have an Auora map. Put it into your favorites and go see it everyday then maybe just maybe you won't have to wonderor ask whats going on anymore. You would no or is that to difficult to ask or to do. I find it amazing with all the information on the Internet how ignorant some of you are about things like this. Its not a complicated site. Ignorance is not bliss and it beats coming here and ending up getting misinformed by someone who's guessing.

Looks like the aurora has retreated into Canada right now. But it can still have sudden impulse at any time.

But the question remains whether the current flux is from the recent solar activity. Or has that been confidently answered in the affirmative?

As you can see from this chart the bz was way positive. Then turned negative around 21:00.

Spaceweather.com is saying we are flying through a cme that just passed... I don't know. We are not getting HIT with cme. Enlil does not really support that as well. Neutrons are up slightly, so ena ribbon?

But the chart above also shows cosmic ray density dropped sharply.

I would check the gamma ray site, but it uses silverlight, and will not load on my system. Here is the link...

Precursors to the December 1811 New Madrid Earthquake...


Earthquakes

Ashville, N.C., December 19 [1811]

To the Editors of the Raleigh Star.

Gentlemen, - I take the liberty to transmit the following account of an earthquake, which happened on the night between the 15th and 16th instant. For several nights previous, the [1]Aurora Borealis brilliantly illuminated the the sky with its trembling coruscations; [2] the late appearance of a splendid comet, and the [3]blondlike colour of the sun for several days, had alarmed a great many superstitious people. They taled of war, and when the news of governor Harrison’s dear bought victory arrived, it brought to their recollection all those appearances, which are still believed (as these are now) to have been the awful precuriers of that bloody war, by which we gained our independence.


[link to genealogytrails.com]

[4] On September 17, 1811 there was another solar eclipse—which, again, was predicted by The Prophet ["Tecumseh was a Shawnee Indian leader whose name meant “Shooting Star” or “He who walks across the sky.”].

SOHO's been sort of strange lately imo but then again I haven't been following it real close.

earlier in the thread I posted a video from Stereo, I think, via otraLoly that showed several very large CME's

personally that explains the 'conundrum' as far as I'm concerned

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

In short, we are having a geo magnetic storm. Can cause troubles with electrical system. Power, satellites, earthquakes. You may feel some ringing or buzzing in your head.

Story we are going with for now till the experts wake up and tell us...

The sun shot off several m class flares that kinda rippled together and went past us yesterday. This event looks like we (earth) are flying through that path of charged particles which is inducting into the earths magnetic field.

What does it all mean? Keep your eyes open. Something is happening. The end result may be nothing more that lights in the sky. Just keep your eyes open.
