Solar Tsunami Alert!!

[HeXp£Øi±]

Two fast and large coronal mass ejections now heading
toward Earth from M8 and X2 eruptions by Sunspot 10720.
The first is likely to impact Earth later on Jan 16 and cause
major to very severe geomagnetic storming. The second
will likely reach Earth on Jan. 17.

Look at the size of that thing!!

 

[Leslie]

I know it's paranoid, but these scare me.

 

[Spirit]

Where's the point of impact supposed to be?

 

[Winky]

It should scare you as far North as you are
it could cause you to glow!

Ha, just kidding...

 

[Gonz]

Look at the size of that thing!!

Puts the size of the entire Sun in perspective doesn't it?

But as it rotated into an earth-facing position, the boiling solar cauldron quickly mushroomed in size to over seven times the diameter of our own planet.

Just because there was a tsunami, now everything is a tsunami.

 

[tank girl]

t'would be such a bummer if they happen to wipe out top-secret U.S satellites and the like

 

[Leslie]

or NZ ones.

or I may get tan enough to not blind people with my reflectiveness.

 

[staffrodore]

or NZ ones.

Hehehe leave our weather balloons alone!

Where's the point of impact supposed to be?

At that size... the probable point of impact is not somewhere on Earth...it is Earth...all of it!

Jut thought I'd mention that the 16th was yesterday, and the 17th today. As the jumper was heard to say as he passed the 10th floor windows "ain't dead yet".

 

[Spirit]

oooo... guess I should have checked that further. That's ok.. should be dead now anyways

...and I was able to successfully use my cell phone today. I guess this solar ray storm turned out a bit like the ice age they promised us in the '70s, huh?
