ANOTHER CME IS COMING: A magnetic filament connecting
two sunspots erupted this morning, Aug. 5th (~0500 UT),
hurling a CME into space. NOAA models predict a
glancing blow on Aug. 8th. The impact could spark G1-
class geomagnetic storms with a chance of escalating to
G2 or G3 because Earth's magnetosphere is already
energized by last night's impact. Keep reading. Aurora

CME SPARKS STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM: As predicted, a
CME struck Earth during the early hours of Aug. 5th.
Sensors at the Canberra Magnetic Observatory in
Australia measured a jolt of 22 nT to our planet's
magnetic field. The impact sparked a strong G3-class
geomagnetic storm with auroras in the USA as far south
as Arizona.
"The aurora was not visible to the unaided eye," says
David Blanchard, who took the picture outside
Flagstaff, "but my camera picked it up in a 30-sec
exposure as a band of pink just above the horizon."
Additional sightings in Missouri, Colorado and the
Carolinas confirm that photographic auroras spread to
low latitudes. "Photographic auroras" are nearly
invisible to the human eye but easy targets for cameras
with nighttime exposure settings. This storm also
produced bright naked-eye auroras at higher latitudes
such as Minnesota, Washington and Michigan.

I don't know why I feel these before they are reported.
It's such a strange thing and has always been this way
for me. Day before yesterday I seriously felt like I was
dying because my fatigue was so severe. Yesterday and
today I feel just fine. I kept telling myself "you're
probably just sensing," but you don't always know if
that's what it is and having just turned 60, I'm a bit
more uneasy about health stuff.

Heads up darlins! We had a G2 Geomagnetic storm today
(now back in the normal range), and had a 1.6 X-class
solar flare a few hours ago and are currently in the
middle of a huge proton radiation storm.
((this means the magnetosphere bombarded with radiation
as the magnetosphere was weakened letting in this cosmic
radiation))
