I'm not sure Dave. I got the impression it was a different one, because I
had got the other message too. From the reading I've been doing, I am
surmising the effects of a flare directed at Earth can take anywhere from
minutes to maybe a day to reach us, depending on what components we're
talking about. I'm not that scientifically versed in it all.
I just know that I'm looking up whenever there's a possibility.
