I read on Wikipedia that a coronal mass ejection took 15 minutes to reach Earth in 2005; it had the highest concentration of protons ever measured.

Since I read it might have been a Hyder flare, and it took twice as long as the one in 2005, what could explain worldwide readings? An even higher concentration traveling at a lower velocity due to its size/mass? Maybe we just caught the edge of a gamma ray blast?

I would imagine many astronomical institutions all over the world are on this, as well as geological institutions.

Interesting stuff! I understand that the flares will continue for the next few days, that coupled with the full moon (meaning higher and lower tides, creating more "rocking" on the plates), could foreshadow more seismic activity to come this week.

We shall see...

Of course, if it were a really, really big flare all of the things that measure protons would stop working.

But I digress....
