Looks like there is a media advisory in about an hour.

Is there a grid risk on the night side of the planet? Do the charge particles follow the magnetic field and disrupt the dark side too? Or is it just the sun facing side where the particles push through the magnetic field?
News release will probably let us know without any doubt that the Sun is causing the warming of the globe we are on! LOLLooks like there is a media advisory in about an hour.
Some people might be in fear over this as a cause!
Hopefully there is some news reported that solar flares aid in solar production, and more DIY'ers visit the forum for installation advise.
It's the electromagnetic energy from the solar flare that is traveling near the speed of light that only hits the sun side of the earth and causes radio blackouts. It's the actual "mass" of energetic particles that takes days to arrive (if it was pointing towards the path of where earth will be in a few days) since they are traveling much slower and is what results in auroras, potential energizing of electric lines, etc. Auroras form in both daylight and night time but the human eye can only see them at night.

Actually, about 8.3 minutes after.

If I can do it, you can do it.

Final evolution is from morlock to tall grey.

Seems like I am ok connecting to the grid at night.
If you want to get real nit picky that isn't true most of the time either since earths orbit around sun is elliptical and therefore the distance from sun varies throughout the year

This channel also has some good info (warning, music can be intense).
I don't think this weekends event will cause any severe issues but AR3664 is definitely something to pay attention to. (a lot of this is way over my head).

I wish I didn’t know this. I don’t like those odds.

I kinda dig the music..
Interesting videos, probably should be aware of the possibilities of these events.
Kill shot .hmmmm……I think I will wait till Monday to cut grass and pay the bills
10% chance I won’t have to…
That’s an intresting vid….thx.
At 5 ..10. .. or 12 % I sure as hell won’t be on any airplanes…

So does this mean I'll be able to see some aurora's here in north KY? If so, when, tomorrow night?
Edit: according to this NOAA space weather site, peak activity will be about 2-6AM tomorrow morning. But, probably not enough south for us.

Oh Brother' one death bow after another. I call BS, just another fear and doom report.
Our sun is a dynamic energy source that controls our weather, heat cycles, cooling and probably our demise eventually. Another snooze event. IMOP

I'm still standing by my statement. Bring on the lights.
My luck, it will be cloudy and rainy when it hits so we can't see nothing anyway. Darn it Ohio.
