http://www.examiner.com/article/large-solar-storm-x-flare-produced-thursday-will-reach-earth-saturday-morning Quote That can produce an aurora display as far south as Alabama and northern California. Baltimore and Maryland may be in a prime area for a display if the timing works out well before sunrise on Saturday (5:51am EDT)... Quote The down side is the electromagnetic energy of this magnitude can disrupt power grids, GPS satellite communication, phone service and more. ... :o :o :oGet out at 5AM and watch it!!

"Everybody calm down. Solar flares won't hurt us." Coach Saban has this under control. Seems that only astronauts near the moon would be affected. We may have power surges, a pretty sky, but not much else.

I'm not worried about this at all.

Was that Jupiter that was shining so big and bright below the moon?
