SOLAR ACTIVITY ALERT:

Prepare for the Worst, Because Solar Storms Are About to Get Ugly


With little warning, three big sunspots have materialized and on March 25th one of them (989) unleashed an M2-class solar flare. This is the biggest flare of the year and it signals a significant increase in solar activity. The eruption also produced a coronal mass ejection (CME), but auroras are unlikely because the cloud is not heading toward Earth: movie.

"It's March Madness," says Greg Piepol who photographed the three sunspots from his backyard observatory in Rockville, Maryland:

Yea I knew this since yesterday. And there was a Level 1 Geomagnetic Storm and a Level 1 Radio Blackout.

I think we are due for a Level 3 Geomagnetic storm, last one was around 2006. Last Level 5 storm was 2000, last level 4 I think was 2003.

These things can cause headaches, I shield myself with special material when this happens... Odd that I don't feel it, perhaps thats because I purposely changed the electrical energy around me.
