X-RAYS ARE HERE - GETTING SLAMMED - LOOK HERE!!! - NEVER SAW IT LIKE THIS!!! 9th Wave of Mayan Calendar ????

The euro folks are not showing much quake activity globally the past several hours.

Suddendly grow bigger. Almost touching very well finland...

DON'T TAKE OUR SNOW!!!!

You already did that before to get to 7".

Brazil allways in the line first... Why so serious toward brazil you earth?

I never knew that - wow

You need to get choppa now and fly in that circle... no weapons or predator will shoot choppa down.

My Directv went out earlier, the screen said it was because of the sun and was normal in spring and fall. Have had them for 15 years and don't remember ever seeing that message before. It was out for close to 30 mins.

hmmm, would that explain possibly why channels on direct tv are going out left and right? only out for a few min at a time but when it happens a blue screen pops up saying some bs about the sun interfering with signals for direct tv.

yeah got a point there. dont remember seeing that screen either.

Its time to lock yourself in the faraday cage people.

Happened alot in the 90's with sunspots. My aunt and uncle sold big satellite dishes back then and were always complaining.

Hawaii is gonna get slammed.... she's getting bigger!

Okay, thats at least a M3!!

Don't worry, its coming soon to your neighbourhood. Earth wants give presents to everyone. Hurray!!!

The hubby and I saw the same message last night. Never saw it before. We just sort of gave each other one of those knowing looks. I think we're shifting into a new norm here.

He said that DirectTV has been going in and out all afternoon long. Usually we just have interference every day from 2:00 until 2:30-2:40 or so but last night and today have been bad.

Its losing stregnth....

EQUINOX SUN OUTAGES: Many readers reported an intermittent loss of satellite TV reception over the weekend. Was the sun to blame? Yes and no. Senior forecaster Bill Murtagh of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center explains: "It is likely that the sun caused the problem, but not because of solar flares. Now is the time of year for the 'equinox conjunction,' when the sun lines up with the satellite and the receiving satellite dish. When this happens, radio interference from the sun competes with signals from the satellite and can create noise levels several decibels higher than normal. The problem, which typically persists for 5 to 15 minutes, is referred to as a 'sun outage' and is often confused with sunspot or solar flare activity."

The CME was not squarely directed at Earth. Nevertheless, the cloud will probably deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field on March 9th or 10th, possibly sparking polar geomagnetic storms.

Radio burst

ohhhhh!!

Epic winning right there

Yea keep the neckless off

I will believe it the day is fries my skin off my bones.
So the sun better try a lot harder then that.

No body said skin frying just the electronics

Overly simplified:
The X-ray component means radio interference.
Proton streams or other mass ejections mean earthquakes.

That aint good enough.
stone age and skin cooking like chicken.

bOOm !! Over 7 M-class SOLAR flares in 1 day 7th march 2011

Agreed....and mine are ringing like a SOB

You guys realize it takes 3 days for the effects of an eruption on the sun to get to the earth ?

not necessarily true, the speed is directly proportionate to the strength of the explosion. Thus an X flare could be much faster than a smaller one
