I’ve read about these. When one breaks away, it goes straight in the direction from which it breaks away - in other words, it doesn’t curve or change directions.

This one must not have been in earth’s direction or they would have said so. A huge one headed in earth’s direction, is the kind to fry our electronics.

Since this phenomenon will be at its highest in 2013, a huge one could come to us. Faraday cage, anyone? Got water, food?

Nah. This just makes Johnny happy. The more upper atmosphere/solar activity we get, the better radio works.

It also helps keep us from sliding off into an ice age, but I care more about the radio propogation. ;)

When it hits, that would be a good time to drag out your shortwave and play with it to see what you can pick up.
