Solar Solar X 1.0 Flare Sunspot AR 2887 to Possibly Hit the Earth!

Neither here nor there.

Hello again folks. A quick solar update while we await signs of the anticipated incoming CME from October 28th. Solar activity declined to lower levels with only minor C-Flares detected around both AR 2887 and 2891. Both regions showed signs of decay during the past 24 hours, but should each remain a threat for C-Flares and perhaps an isolated moderate M-Flare.

A reminder that a Strong (G3) level geomagnetic storm watch is in effect this weekend. Aurora sky watchers should remain alert once it is dark outside.

If you have a suitable (tasty-looking) subject all picked out.....I wouldn’t let some little ol’ X-class nothingburger spoil my appetite.

:shr:

We've probably all had friends and family tell us they plan to use our preps when/if TSHTF. Someone (I swear it's not me) once told me that they've taken to telling those wannabe disaster moochers by all means come, he could use the fresh meat. There's usually a pause before it sinks in.

As for watching the skies, take a moment to recall all the apocalypse movies that start out that way! :)

Yeah I actually used that line on one of those types of “friends” that I met on the street of a local downtown, and you should have seen her jaw drop! Then I asked her, “you have a husband right ?” She replied in the affirmative. Then I asked her again “you have a father right?” Again she replied yes. Then I said to her, “those are the men responsible for taking care of you, not me” and wished her a good day as I walked away.
