[singing] I'm fixin' a hole where the Sun gets in...
No ping, about four or five of these recently.

A planet sized hole has ripped through the surface of the sun letting out intense 1.8 million mph winds which could threaten our entire planet by the end of the week.
The gaping hole, which stretches 20 times the size of the Earth, is the second to appear in a week and has sent solar winds hurling towards our planet within the next 24 hours.
If the winds make impact with our planet, the Earth’s magnetic field, satellites, and most technologies would cease to work leading to a potential worldwide power cut.
The first hole appeared March 23, and triggered stunning auroras lighting up the night sky.
NASA released a statement after the recent discovery describing the holes as “magnetically open areas that are one source of high-speed solar wind.”
They continued to explain how when Coronal Mass Ejections strike the Earth they could cause geomagnetic storms, enhanced auroras and disrupt radio waves, as well as GPS and any number of electrical systems we have in place.
The massive influx of energy could overwhelm our power grids and cause permanent damage to transformers around the world.
The last explosion coming from the sun’s surface was listed as an “X-Class flare” meaning that it narrowly missed the Earth and almost causing an unknowable amount of damage to our atmosphere.

No worries. The sun is just filming a solar version of Blazing Saddles.
The Title: Breaking Big Yellow Wind.
You did it! Now you’re ready for the hat and beer can sunglasses!
Oh noes! Manufactured EMP event imminent.
You're the neighbor I always dreamed of. You're not in NW Arkansas by chance?
Sorry...
Pennsylvania most of the time.
I travel a lot... I joke, home is where I hang my hat. And I don’t wear a hat.

‘’Well,it will blow all the leaves left in my yard by my neighbors trees back in their yard.’’
Science nerds never think about the glass-half-full results of these end-of-the-world situations.
LOL
You win.
Well played Alexander....well played.
You lost me at 1.8
I respect your faith - but I found your statements to verge on alarmism.
Solar prominences, flares, storms, and the like have been occurring since time immemorial. People lacking a scientific background could easily be hornswoggled by the blatant sensationalism of this article. It is highly immoral to suggest that this relatively common celestial occurrence portends anything unusual, or warrants any special measure of religious fervor.
If I am to be called a rube [...]
Yes, that was crossing the line! My apologies!

Blackout coming?
🤔
Well, you cannot say ya ain’t been warned.
If you had 24 hours left to the world as we know it, what would you be doing right about now?
We’re all going to die!
Catholics, time to go to confession.

I am no “expert” on weather but is the sun maybe the cause of changes in the earth’s weather....?
That may be heresy to say it.
But whatever possible avenue you use, please strive assiduously to avoid any intellectually misleading statements, fallacious argumentation, fear-mongering, selective omissions, etc.
Preach the Gospel to as many as you like - use actual words if absolutely unavoidable!

You mean if the world was ending?
I would be praying, (first and foremost, for forgiveness of my sins) and contacting family and friends, to tell them I love them, and ask that we pray together, for each other give thanks to the Lord for the life and time we've had on this planet.
(It's not like we are going to stay in this place forever anyway. Everyone has to go through that door at some point.)
I would also pray for as many souls as possible to be saved, and I would pray for those who I personally do not like, (pray for your enemies as Jesus told us to do), to be saved.
It is difficult to do this, but easier, when I consider that once they are gone, if they do not seek the Lord and repent for their wrongdoing, that they will spend all of eternity suffering in Hell.
That is awful.
Read any account of someone who has had an NDE (Near Death Experience), and went to Hell-They all said that they would not wish their worst enemy to end up there.
And of course I would focus on the fact that the whole reason that Jesus suffered death on the cross for us, was to save us.
1 Corinthians 15:55-58 New International Version (NIV)
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God!
He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
P.S. I would try to be outside amongst our Lord's creation as much as possible, and try to watch the Sunrise /Sunset.
I was wondering if a metal barn would serve the same? My barn/garage is a metal pole barn.
I don’t know. It does bear some investigation.
