Please, get your information from a reputable site like spaceweather.com not some indian shitsite. The X-class flare occurred at 9:40AM CST and nobody died, chaos did not ensure, just clicks for some blogger.
Agreed. When I saw that this "news" was sourced from an "indian shitsite", my BS detector pegged.
A quick search of major news organizations and science news sites reveal nothing of importance, just a typical run of the mill solar flare which has happened thousands of times before.
It takes light from the Sun 8 minutes to get here. The solar storm itself moves slower, I forget how much, but it will get here later.
Hopefully it will mess up the Chinese as well.

Darn, I was hoping for chaos
