Is an X class flare what they used to call a CME or Coronal Mass Ejection?
Musta been a hard night out for the sun, its blowing chunks...

Solar warming?
Sounds ominous..but I’m as ready as I ever will be. Thanks to a lot of ‘prepper’ advice here. There will always be something that wasnt thought of or done.. plan for the worst, hope for the best.

I just went to the noaa.gov web site, and I can't find any such warning. It's certainly possible that I'm missing it, but
HERE is what I found:
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate during the period (08 - 10 November) with a slight chance for high activity (M5 or higher) from Region 1339. There is also a slight chance for a proton flare from this region during the period. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 06/2100Z to 07/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels. Solar wind speeds ranged between 300 to 375 km/s while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field did not vary much beyond +/- 5 nT.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels during the period (08 - 10 November).

At last, X-Class flares should be able to give me the radiation necessary to acquire superpowers.

I can’t bother with all this right now.
I’m too busy keeping an eye on the asteroid that’s buzzing by us in the next two days.

Where is the link to this information from NOAA directly?
Here’s all I found:
3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued Nov 07 22:00 UTC
Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be moderate during the period (08 - 10 November) with a slight chance for high activity (M5 or higher) from Region 1339. There is also a slight chance for a proton flare from this region during the period.
Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels during the period (08 - 10 November).

It could paralyze the economy of the planet earth. In 1859 we had a gigantic solar storm which knocked out telegraph wires back then, 150 years ago. If that had happened today it would knock out almost all our satellites, knock out power stations, there would be food riots around the country because refrigeration would stop, airplanes would probably crash without radar. Telegraph wires back then had lengths of tens of miles, with loads of a fraction of a watt (the clicker). I doubt that a solar flare would register on today's power lines. Satellites might be another story, but I assume they harden them against flares.
