A Solar Storm is Coming
Spaceweather.com ^ | Tuesday, Sep. 5, 2017

Posted on 09/05/2017 4:15:50 AM PDT by tired&retired

A SOLAR STORM IS COMING: On Sept. 4th at approximately 2030 UT, active sunspot AR2673 hurled a CME toward Earth: movie. NOAA analysts are still modeling the cloud's trajectory. At first glance, the CME appears likely to reach our planet on Sept. 6th with the possibility of moderately strong (G2-class) geomagnetic storms when it arrives. Stay tuned for an updated forecast.

What a difference a day can make. On Saturday, Sept. 2nd, sunspot AR2673 was an unremarkable speck largely ignored by forecasters. On Sunday, Sept. 3rd, it underwent a furious transformation.

AR2673 expanded more than 10-fold in a single day, suddenly becoming one of the largest sunspots of the year.

The behemoth sunspot has continued to grow and now, on Sept. 5th, it has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Any such explosion today would be geoeffective as the active region is directly facing Earth. Possible outcomes include strong shortwave radio blackouts, Earth-directed CMEs and geomagnetic storms later this week.

With North Korea, Climate Change and the recent Yellowstone Earthquakes I thought it would be good to add another element to the catastrophic predictors list.

This news was in another post but it was not linked to factual data. I prefer science over emotional hype.

Thanks ever so much. I’m reading this while breathing fire smoke-saturated air at “Hazardous” level in the Pacific Northwest.

WE really need a hurricane.

I suspect the sun’s activity affects earth’s weather far more than we know.

I’ll retract my last comment as the other video does provide excellent data. My apologies.

“I suspect the sun’s activity affects earth’s weather far more than we know.”

I just read a few scientific articles from 2016 where they are trying to say that climate change is causing the polar shift.

That’s like claiming that our darkness at night is causing the earth to spin!!!

Severe Ionic Disturbances, (SID’s) are nothing new, they have been around forever. Back in the mid 50’s while operating naval communications, they were experienced frequently. All but a very few radio frequencies would be interrupted and totally blocked out for a couple days due to the phenomena. Being overseas, the only American station we could receive was WWVA out of Wheeling West “By God” Virginia, a country music station. WHICH, I might add, was greatly appreciated by a lot of sailors.

There was a magazine article a while ago saying that whenever the earth has warming periods, the nearby planets do too, meaning the cause was solar, not human.

So I visited this YouTube channel. Some nice Astronomical vids, UFO stuff, and one video in particular caught my eye:

It was posted 10 months ago...

Hope this isn’t “the fire next time.”
Praying for all those in the way of fires and sickened by smoke, both people and animals.
