Scientists say an extreme solar flare is blasting its way to Earth and could mess up some power grids, satellites and radio transmissions.

Forecasters at the Space Weather Prediction Center don't yet know when Wednesday's solar storm will arrive here and which part of the planet will be facing the sun and bear the brunt of the effects. It could be as early as Thursday morning to a few days.

Probably any time from tomorrow (Friday) through Saturday.

This event is a X1.6. the carrington event in the 1800’s was rated X40. The one that took out the power in Quebec in the 1980’s was rated X15. While big, most likely not big enough to do anything except make a spectacular northern lights display.

OH BOY!

I tried it, and it appears that they had some unusually heavy Internet traffic and/or a server problem. It worked again just now, though. Might need the “www,” too.
