TO DOOM or NOT TO DOOM: NOAA Warns of Giganitc Solar Storm Region Facing Earth, for Next TWO Weeks; Fully Capable of Producing X-Class Flares

Just wanted to let you guys and girls know

Last Thursday the sun produced an X1.9 rated solar flare that narrowly missed Earth. Although it wasn’t aimed directly at us, about 45 minutes after leaving the sun it was still powerful enough to disrupt radio communications.

Now, that same area responsible for producing the X-class flare may pose a direct threat to Earth.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center says that the region on the sun known as AR11339 and affectionately called the “Benevolent Monster” will set its sights on Earth. It will move into a position that poses the largest risk to our planet around November 9th, 2011 and remain on a direct line of sight with earth for the following two (2) weeks as it rotates:

Scientists at the federal Space Weather Prediction Center say that area is the most active part of the sun since 2005. It has dozens of sunspots, including one that is the size of 17 Earths.

…

“It’s still growing. The size is what blows me away.”

Thursday’s flare wasn’t aimed at Earth. However, this active region is now slowly turning toward Earth, and scientists say it will be directly facing Earth in about five days.

That storm region will only affect Earth if it shoots off flares and they hit our planet, which doesn’t always happen with stormy areas, said prediction center space scientist Joe Kunches.

The region will be facing Earth for about two weeks as it rotates, he said.

Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that can occasionally disrupt communications and electrical systems.

We’ll be facing the monster starting sometime this evening into tomorrow. Considering that it has just recently ejected an X-class flare towards Earth and another towards Venus, we should consider the region to be active and fully capable of affecting our planet.

While NOAA’s warnings fall short of any imminent ‘end of the world as we know it’ event, the risk over the next two weeks of a Carrington-like event are higher now than at anytime in the last decade. The 1859 Carrington Event, caused by a solar flare, reportedly knocked out telegraph operations around the world. It is believed that such an event, were it to occur today, could potentially take down the U.S. power grid for months or years and paralyze the entire globe:

Physicist Michio Kaku:

It could paralyze the economy of the planet earth. In 1859 we had a gigantic solar storm which knocked out telegraph wires back then, 150 years ago. If that had happened today it would knock out almost all our satellites, knock out power stations, there would be food riots around the country because refrigeration would stop, airplanes would probably crash without radar.

…

And again, this is a once in a century, once in two centuries storm…

We do have them and we have to worry about them.

…

We’d be thrown back 100 years.

Patrick Geryl of How to Survive 2012 contacted us recently and contributed a short video describing the potential fall out of such an event. The consequences would be devastating and would include everything from power grid failure and food shortages, to savage riots and, eventually, a meltdown of nuclear reactors across the globe.

There would be very little warning, if any, with estimates suggesting that once a solar event is detected it could take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days to impact earth.

WTF. PIN THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!!

i just saw this shit on the news earlier.
is no one paying attention?
the fucking asteroid was a false flag. the solar flare is what we have to worry about

Exactly!

I think that the solar weather is directly related to our weather here on earth now. That massive RANDOM epic storm in Alaska, the tornados in the south, and earthquakes...

It's like 'The Day after Tomorrow' exceopt NOT funny.

seriously!! is no one watching this? it was humid and hot out here yesterday and now its cold out and this has been happening a lot lately.

my sheeple parents have like, woken up all of a sudden within the past 2 days of me visiting here in houston and theyre like tripping out so im having to give a constant crash course lesson in Doomology...

theyre wanting to bug out to their lakehouse today because theyre tripping about the EAS test too. Boy I feel like I'm working overtime today lol. i dont even wanna wake anyone else up now, people are already flocking to me for info on what im supposed to do and they still dont really get it. i dont know how many times ive used the word carrington event...lol

but...

sry if this is off topic but would a cme also render things like batteries and other items useless?

while knocking out the grid would suck it would also put an end to the big brother police state

I believe it would.

I'm pretty sure it fried everything, hence why it would be such a setback for society.

Eeek, sure hope it doesn't happen right before this AWFUL winter they are predicting.

I don't think we've ever been hit directly with an X10+ flare since satellites, TV, huge power grids etc.. The recent ones that caused trouble were only glancing blows.

there have been x18+ flare and knocked a few satellites out but no doom. it will not rip the atmosphere off.

If you want some real doom check out gamma ray burst :)

Mods, please pin. This is has the potential to be a massive event.

IMO this topic needs bumping.
