Trouble with links go to http://www.spaceweather.com/, will eventually respond.

Note: In the novel Congo, by Michael Crichton, a CME is what disrupts the transmission from the Congo research team's computers to the satellites and back to Houston.

When is it supposed to hit?

satellites may experience single-event upsets and astronauts should practice "radiation avoidance."

This is humorous. "Look out for that streamer! Move a little to your left! Wow, that sure was close. Look out! Here comes another one!

Quite a quandary, post#3-Putin's fault, post#4-Bush's fault. I think it might just be an angry sun god, we should sacrifice al gore just in case...

Ed Dames spoke about multiple flares coming one after another in relation to his "kill shot" event. Those are some pretty big X class flares. If the cloud cover stays away, it could produce some nice auroras.

I believe it was in 1859 that a massive solar storm disrupted telegraph communications in Chicago and Canada.

It's not a big deal as geomagnetic storms go, but it was a big ejection for this low part of the long term cycle. If any of you would like to get news of such activity, go to Dirk Obudzinski's site.

BTW, in my opinion, global warming has been happening but not for the reasons given by enviro-lefties. The sun has been sending out more warmth for some time, and there's nothing reasonable that we can do at this time to shield the earth from the storms. About all that individuals can do for themselves to get relief from the heat is to move north or move to higher altitudes.
