FOXNews.com - Solar Tsunami to Strike Earth

if the power is out in the morning,this is why.a slightly bigger solar dlare burned telegraph lines and railroads in the 1800's.

If the clouds clear out, I'm going to get a lounge chair out and hope the aurora give me a good show.

 

[Magus]

I'm drinking salty dogs for the apocalypse..LOL

This solar event can be compared to a magnitude 2 earthquake in rural California. AKA no news to report requires the media to elevate something to newsworthy stats... (Grin)

 

[Emerald]

Well I hardly ever sleep so I think I will be out there with my Vodka tonic with lime!

 

[gypsysue]

Guess we stand a good chance of seeing some pretty nice northern lights tonight, way up here almost within sight of the Canadian border, in NW Montana! (Hey, naekid, we're waving at you over there in Calgary, can ya see us?)

So far the sky is clear.

btw, we're keeping the laptop computers and camera memory cards in the (metal) gun safe ("farraday cage") just in case...except for when we're using them...like I am right now!

I'm wondering about EMP-like effects. I guess we'll know soon! This time, anyway!

 

[NaeKid]

I'm gonna take a spin a little north when it starts getting dark to see if I can see something outside of the city-lights. If y'all don't hear from me in the mornin' it means that I am still a'hoofin' it back towards home

 

[7GodxRules7]

Holy shiz... That's tomorrow!

 

[catsraven]

Well its 2:30 am and nothing. Live to close to city to see any lights

 

[UncleJoe]

It was overcast here. But it looks like there is another opportunity tonight. Hope the sky clears.

 

[bunkerbob]

Its the beginning of the 11 year solar cycle next year, for us DX Ham radio operators the solar activity is welcome, better propagation and longer contacts. Bring it on, oh, I will be in the bunker making contacts on my gear.

 

[HarleyRider]

Nothin' down here so far.... business as usual.

 

[gypsysue]

No northen lights here at all, at least up until 2:00 AM. Slept after that. Stars were clear and bright, though!

Maybe tonight?

 

[nj_m715]

The 6pm new had great looking still shots from all over the US.

 

[UncleJoe]

We're overcast and rainy. Oh well. Maybe the next CME will give us a show.

 

[Magus]

It's over.stow the survival guns and beans until next one.LMAO

 

[sailaway]

I guess I slept through it in the Flying J Truckstop.:dunno:

 

[gypsysue]

Okay...the sun "cried wolf" this time, but...

Keep on prepping! Ya never know! :nuts:

 

[Magus]

Burning telegraph lines.......think about what there is to burn nowadays?

 

[horseman09]

Yup. One false alarm after the other until.....................
