Re: [time-nuts] Solar flare alert...not quite

It's not actually a flare.that has been and gobe it a great bif glob of 
plasma, ejected by the same region. Spaceweather.com has a reputation for 
over-hyping these CME events. I could cause problems but there are a lot of 
conditions to be met before it is a disaster. Enjoy the aurora :-))

There was a blurb on the news tonight about a big honkin' solar flare that 
is due to arrive around 6:00 AM tomorrow morning.   It's supposed to be 
strong enough to produce auroras visible as far south as the Gulf of 
Mexico and to mess up GPS...

Looks like this flare was a non-event:
