“…caused a brief radio blackout on Earth”

That explains why I couldn’t get FR — Mr. Sol interrupted my WiFi. I was worried that Jim hadn’t raised enough in the newest FReep-a-thon.

A “surprise” solar flare?

Is it possible that the science isn’t sufficiently developed to reliably predict significant weather events?

And is it possible that this significant weather event (on the sun) can’t be attributed to manmade climate change?

One more. When galaxies collide, do space cops put out solar flares?

If the flares become any bigger, they’ll turn into bell bottoms.

I was listening to Dave Ramsey yesterday on iHeart radio, in my car - it went out for about a minute, about that time ...

Note to self - Make hard copies of all important documents stored on electronic media

The sun was all extra shiny because Trump was holding a rally, and the sun wanted to say, “Hi! Glad you’re back!”

Lotsa laffs posted here, the flare was an X-class event and the sun was facing away from earth.

Had we taken the hit directly, you might well be with power for some time.

And yes, you should have hard copies of important documents and treasured photos.

Snaning the same onto a memory card is also a smart way to carry these in the event you have to leave your home in a hurry - the Miami condo....

Most photo or package places still in business can print out the item from the card.
