x-17 flare, CME hurled directly toward Earth

[rootofnewt]

Holy X-Class Flares, Batman!.

Why do these things happen when it's going to be cloudy over this half of the continent?

*sigh*

I wonder if we'll lose DishTV reception...

It's so cloudy today. I can't go look at the sunspots.

I'm keeping an eye on the Auroral Activity Report... if the plot goes red, i might hop in the car tonight and take a chance on partly cloudy skies in the mountains or even drive North. ;) Don't put it past me--I'm crazy about sky stuff.

I live in Virginia. I'm not holding my breath.

I'll keep an eye on the STD/DMSP global plot and the Kp index, though. if things start picking up, i'll take my chances on the space between the weather systems and head NNW. ;)
