Prepare for the Worst, Because Solar Storms Are About to Get Ugly
| Quote From Source: |
Every 11 years or so, the sun gets a little pissy. It breaks out in a rash of planet-sized sunspots that spew superhot gas, hurling clouds of electrons, protons, and heavier ions toward Earth at nearly the speed of light. These solar windstorms have been known to knock out power grids and TV broadcasts, and our growing reliance on space-based technology makes us more vulnerable than ever to their effects. On January 3, scientists discovered a reverse-polarity sunspot, signaling the start of a new cycle — and some are predicting that at its peak (in about four years) things are gonna get nasty.

Hurricane season may be interesting this year......
All we need is a couple of really big M class (wich we had one already), and a couple of X Class say around late June into July. That should get things off to a good start.
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
