Re: 50% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours.
The intense bursts of energy this week were all "X-class" flares - the strongest type.

These are assigned a number which gives more information about their strength: An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, and so on.

Recent temporal markers:

Russian 'currency war';

More X-class flares;

More Popo activity;

400ppm CO2 limit breached = ice melt for certain = 27+ FEET of more water to oceans

can all this be leading to a big quake and earth change soon?

You could have a cool beer if you dig a food storage hole and keep it covered.

Better yet, learn how to make your own beer, since you won't be able to go to the store and buy it any longer...

I am still miffed at the snow/hail storm we got on Mother's Day that killed my herbs and tomato plants that I was unable to bring in. Now what ever is left in my garden will be fried :(

Indeed, as soon as we got wind of the strike a few weeks ago, we have been getting extra "just in case". A Canadian with out alcohol for a long weekend is a very bitchy individual!

sun is super bright here in Ontario Canada.
wind has really kicked up, which to me, is weird, as there's barely any clouds in the sky.
and considering Environment Canada was saying it would only be 21 degrees today, it's already 25, but it does feel much hotter in the sun.

 Quoting: Wash


It's the earth facing effect. For months now, almost every big flaring sunspots have been quite while facing earth. There is no particular reason, it just happens this way... I'm not saying it can't happend.

Even now, it is slightly earth facing. We'd likely see some impact from a large energy release (glancing), assuming it was AR1748 that popped off. It will become more and more earth facing hour by hour.

Have a look at solarham.net The active spot is 1748 and it is slightly earth facing now and will be for the throughout the week. It is still beta-gamma-delta (which means there is a lot of magnetic mixing going on which causes the flares) 1745 also has some mixing going on as it is beta-gamma. It hasn't thrown any flares though...yet...and it is completely earth facing now.

One shouldn't be so eager my good friend.

You and many of us are about to undergo a trauma like none before.

You seek a certain validation which is causing an uneasiness.

Relax. Breathe. Be at peace.

It's real.

And it's about to manifest.

Spend this time closing off all that needs to be closed off.
Don't be afraid. We're not alone.

Love.
