Forecasters at the NOAA Space Environment Center in Boulder, Colo., observed a geomagnetic storm on Sunday, May 15, which they classified as an extreme event, measuring G-5—the highest level—on the NOAA Space Weather Scales.

Please, everyone who reads this thread, go out an stock up on bread, milk, the staples, you know, because the world is going to end.

Watch for this theme on the MSM (LM) tomorrow.

I'd say there's a decent chance we got a few new super heroes and supper villains coming! :-)

You gotta be a real low-life scum to steal a man's dinner...

[HitmanLV]

Darn spell checker can't tell the diff between super and supper!!! Oh, the humanity! :-)

[bannie]

Thank you for the site!

How come none of y'all called me to tell me to go outside?????

:)

[TexasGreg]

I'm sure Art Bell will be blabbing about this tonight ... and Ed Dames will claim it as the "Kill Shot."

The Russians have figured out how to land a spacecraft on the sun, they are going at night.

I hear crow can be good, try a little horseradish.

ohmygosh!!! whatcouldIhavebeenthinking???

:D You can thank me for giving you the opportunity to feel superior. Are you an expert in serving up the delicacy of crow?

Dogs and cats living together. MASS HYSTERIA!


AAAAHHHHH! Describes my house perfectly.......

3 cats and 3 German Sheppard :)

Duh, where do you think they get their transmisions from, cable?

[rubofthebrush]

bump for later...

[dc-zoo]

If a satellite goes down your cable company will also lose programming. Cable gets its programming by satellite also.

[djf]

If it came down to it, I'd eat my share and yours too!!

;-}

[John Lenin]

It was meant to be a joke.

[VeniVidiVici]

Glad I got a new roof last year.

[sockmonkey]

I wonder what the actual experienced events were...?

I was wondering how the Spurs lost so badly in the NBA playoff game with Seattle tonight. I think I now have an explanation.

[spinestein]

I don't have cable or satellite or broadcast TV in my house. I just have a VCR/DVD player hooked up to my TV.

Big solar storms like this mean I just go outside and look at the sky show.

Too bad it's cloudy right now. :^)

[Iscool]

Interesting...I had to go in to work yesterday morning, Sat the 15th...Many machinery lines apparently encountered temporary electrical failures and shut down but came right back on...Maintenance crew searched everywhere for a problem but could find none...I had forgotten about the warning...

As Jackie Gleason used to say, "One of these days, Alice...one of these days. You're going, oh boy, you're going. Bang...zoom...to the moon!"

From the DX listeners club:

"The extreme southwards IMF between 05:30 and 06:10 UTC caused extremely severe geomagnetic storming. Boulder recorded magnetic deviations of 682 nT, far exceeding what is required to achieve a K index of 9."


"Long distance low and medium frequency (below 2 MHz) propagation along east-west paths over high and upper middle latitudes is useless. Propagation along long distance north-south paths is poor. Trans Atlantic propagation conditions are normally monitored every night on 1470 kHz. Dominant station tonight: Radio Cristal del Uruguay. Only a few other stations, like Rádio Clube Paranaense on 1430 and Rádio 9 de Julho on 1600 kHz were heard on other frequencies."

We still may see extremes for the next 30 hours or so.
