JUST IN - Biggest solar flare of the year knocks out radio transmissions

radio blacked out today for me while driving at around that time. thought nothing of it, just thought it was a glitch. went totally dead.

exactly.

It's on now, Bitchez...Something wicked this way comes

Protons reach faster than CME's.

WIth ya. The way the CNET article, well post, reads, sort of creates this platform of possibilities, which sort of came out of nowhere. Indeed M-class flares are not that bad, but here we are, getting force fed the doom. Rather interesting.

Side thought and very much a side dish perhaps for many - that quote that it may effect satellites and the likes --- perfect 'excuse' or better said, cover, to take out that Korean satellite.

the funny thing is, i now have an explanation why my wifi at home was slightly interrupted today (router all well connected to provider, no net fail at all, just the wifi). was in that time window as well.


edit:

just another thought:
msm were talking about a possible emp for so long now. did they know sun was going to erupt ? and that´s why all those solar websites down ? that we don´t see _why or how_ it happens?

Wow, yes, that is a direct hit...

April 13 it is.

Is this Earth facing?

we are DONE for.

Yes, check out this estimate of the particle blast to nail is:

nothing in the news here - well, at least not the big, mainstream msm!

local newspaper has something, about mobile phones possibly being interrupted:

Thanks. Will be curious if the MSM in Europe picks it up more tomorrow.

No, THAT was me. I was making a wicked massive toaster capable of perfectly cooking pizza.

Yeah, thx OP, CME_Doom is actually my passionate doom of choice.

I'm no follower of Ed Dames, but I have to say that considering current events, this is interesting timing.

Maybe some date on your calendar can make the sun STFU eh russ?

Or does the sunt think you are a total cocksag as well and refuses to buy into your bullshit?

A direct hit from a strong M class flare would be more than enough for some serious DOOM

Bullshit it would. We got hit with M class flares all year last year. Hell we even survived an X28 class flare in 2003. This is more false doom, don't believe anything you hear on this website

Just wait til the CME hits this sunday. W00t.

thats not Killshot. Its not even that huge we got 2012 january. but im worried about N korean shuttle and if that will fall down due to this then i hope it wasnt nuked.

killshot will come after nkorea has done something

yep

Will keep an eye on this one, the IMF is pointing south atm,
more effects on Earth likely.

"If the IMF points south -- a condition scientists call "southward Bz" -- then the IMF can partially cancel Earth's magnetic field at the point of contact."

glad i went ahead and got ready for NK emp.

So all the magnets will fall of my fridge??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AND YET NOT 1 PERSON ON GLP CAUGHT IT



HAHAHAHAHAH "sources" my ass

"The impact of radiation storms and geomagnetic storms do not directly threaten life on Earth, although there can be consequences for our high-tech society. The Earth’s magnetic field and thick atmosphere deflects and mops up the radiation and high-energy particles from the sun, but radiation storms can cause fluctuations in the electron content of the ionosphere, one of the uppermost regions of the atmosphere. This can interfere with planet-wide radio communications. Also, when the CME hits, and if the magnetic conditions are right, vast electrical currents can be induced through the atmosphere, potentially impacting regional electrical grids. Also, satellites are vulnerable in the high-energy space weather environment."
