Solar DANGER? NOAA believes Solar Storm will hit earth today or tomorrow!

CME Update
August 6, 2023 @ 12:10 UTC

The X1.6 solar flare around AR 3386 was responsible for the second of two halo CMEs on Saturday (image below).

The first CME was the result of a long duration M-Flare/Filament eruption earlier in the day. Both appear to have an Earth directed component with glancing blows possible beginning August 8th. The combination could generate minor (G1) to moderate (G2) storming at higher latitudes. Aurora sky watchers should be alert beginning Tuesday.

UPDATE: The latest NOAA/SWPC update is reporting that the second CME (X1.6 Flare) will be a miss. Even with that forecast, I still believe that the eastern flank could still graze past Earth.

And here I sit, all content and cool in the middle of Oklahoma.

Don't even think our AC has ran for much over a few minutes ever hour. The high was supposed to be over 103 with a feel like temperature of over 110f.

Mid 80s this afternoon when the sun broke threw. Rain and a northern wind. It was/is great to be alive!

Thank you Lord!
Well,

you are not helping our end-of-the-world thread

this could well be thread drift

The whole youtuub industry of overhyped doom is becoming tiresome.

I'm back to teaching online, so am using YT as one of my video platforms. I have noticed an uptick, bordering on the absurd, of thumbnails of people with their mouths wide open and supposed shocked looks on their faces. It's right up there with the whole duck lip pout look that trended hard about ten years ago. That one was stupid, and the open mouth look is even more stupid!

I'm not butt hurt at all, but you might want to get caught up on actual climate events, mostly caused by the Sun and volcanic activity... SuspiciousObservers over at YouTube if you want to know if your area is going to be under water and soon. Ben has a play list that's almost two hours long that's worth watching... cause the Sun IS currently in a micro nova event.

Doom doom doom...... I was 'doom' when doom wasn't cool.......(I still like Barbara Mandrell)

but it REALLY is getting tiresome having done this for years now for our passion to be fed to the masses to promote fear..... the problem is it is working..... and it wont change. Now even with reliable sources you have to be picky about the news you ingest.

For the record..... I loved U2 when they were starving musicians..... after they went global..... not so much.

probably worship their self importance.
No probably about it. ONLY THEY have the truth about the climate. And you are the scum of the earth for considering anything different.

In fact it is a test to see if they want you dead or not. Disagree - DEAD.

And the truth is - they don't believe it either. You don't see widespread adoption of late 18th century pre-carbon age lifestyle.

They want YOU to live in a tar paper shack and eat bugs - while they enjoy their government sponsored good life.

Well, I gather it has knocked out some radio transmissions, but solar flares often do.

Today (Monday 08/07/23), a local AM radio station had at least 15 minutes dead-air time. IHeart Radio station a 50 KW day signal, 44 KW @ night on 1150 AM, is AKA as Patriot Radio out of Burbank CA, with a call sign of K(EIB) as a tribute to Excellence In Broadcasting and Rush Limbaugh.

ETA @ 15:40 hours PST, my debit card would not run through the vendors machine. My purchase was completed with ready-teller’s. A old friend PE Andrew Jackson helped me complete the transaction.

Thinking the kill shot will be in October around the 20th.

I'll be bow hunting, and be hoping for my own well placed kill shot.

And you'll be able to start immediately, as soon as anyone can figure out what a woo-doom post even IS any more.

Stuff that would have been woo five years ago is MSM news any more.

This^^^ Who would have thought a mere ten years ago we'd have a president with severe dementia! That would have been total woo and speculation.

Well, that we had already. Don't forget Reagan's "naptimes" and most of Jimmuh Carter.

I'm thinking more along the lines of UFO sightings and, of course, the idea that the federal government could declare us all prisoners in our own homes for several weeks, and then the states could take over to go however much longer they pleased.
