Seriously, Is this capable of doing EMD damage to electronics on the ground or permanent satellite damage or just temporary sat communication interruptions????

High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Radio communications by way of the ionosphere may become degraded soon after the CME arrives, and the degraded conditions may last for up to three days.

Do we still bounce transmissions off the ionosphere?? My old man DX'd. When he pass away we got rid of SQL cards from all over the World.
Inquiring minds want to know???

The Sun is very interesting in that to the naked eye, it just looks like a big bright globe just sitting in space, minding its own business, however when seen through special equipment, what looks like a peaceful ball turns into a raging monster, spewing all sorts of stuff into space.

Well, unless I missed something in class, at least we are not on the side of the Earth getting the direct hit now.
I understand that it wraps, somewhat, but that beats being in the line of fire.

The Sun sounds like a Democrat.
Expect gore to tell obama to blame President Bush if anything bad happens.
Joking aside, 2012 is the next predicted Solar Flare Cycle. If I recall correctly, the last prediction was for a rather quiet cycle. Does this event hold any predictave value for the 2012 Solar cycle?
