6 powerful X-class solar flares hit the earth this weekend, May 11-12th 2024, as reported by Space Weather News: https://spaceweathernews.com
The effects might be minor; the effects might be major. We do not know. Aurora could reach low latitudes this weekend. With so many impacts, we are likely to see something from this.
I remember seeing the aurora in Idaho many years ago. It took a moment to realize that it was an aurora. So cool.
I've only seen an aurora once, about 13 years ago in northern IN. Growing up In. The south we never saw them. Hoping we can see again.
Fascinating - Space Weather News breaks down the physiological effects of solar storms: heart rate and blood pressure modulation, increased incidence of all cardiac related events, all auto-immune issues tend to spike, plus episodes of seizure and migraine. Psychologically, it increases fear, panic, anxiety and emotional disorders. So it could create some interesting situations, which the public might not even link to the solar storms.
More crazy and bizarre behavior, and more "sudden deaths"?

Human's get a charge from the Sun or is it Son ?
Are the psychological effects from seeing the auroras or from the electrical effects on the body and brain?
Think electrical storm in the brain, and those who already have misfiring or bad wiring, are going to flare UP.
This weekend, don't be playing poker or getting in heated discussions with Bipolar, schizophrenics, or the emotionally unstable. Avoid them.
Abstain from date nights, too. Messed up Schumann resonance will mess up conjugal relations. We are more electrical beings than most realize.
Some of us realize we’re all electricity. Atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons, all spinning around, touching nothing. Everything is made up of atoms. Atoms organize in patterns to create elements. Elements make up everything.
Thought is electrical impulses in the brain. Completely electric. 100%.
Thanks for the added detail!!
Unless you have a blue roof, in which case you will be fine.
Want all that supposed to have happened during the eclipse too?
I have heard the moon can also cause strangeness. Reports of hospitals and 911 operators saying that they see the most incidents (fights, wrecks, falls, crimes) during full moons. The ancients called crazy people "lunatics" (lunar). I wonder what's going on there...
Storm?

Yikes, no one ever considered it to be a solar Storm upon us....
If I wanted to launch a massive cyber attack and escape blame, this is when I'd do it.
Yeah, makes me wonder what damning information is going to be released this weekend?
Predictive PROGRAMING
Even the Daily Mail is talking about this:
"World told to brace for 'severe geomagnetic storm' today - the first in nearly 20 years - which could bring chaos to mobile phone networks, GPS satellites and power grids
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued the Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch late Thursday – the first such alert aired since 2005 when Earth was hit with the highest dose of radiation in a half-century."

To the MSM, everything is an apocolyptic threat. From which only more of our money can protect us.
Don your N95 😷
An apocalypse is something viewed as a prophetic revelation. A revelation is a great awakening. We are the Great Awakening.
To think they can't predict rain tomorrow accurately but Solar storms , no problem !
So is it Solar Warming now ?
SIX SOLAR STORMS ON THEIR WAY TO EARTH | S0 News May.10.2024

Must be why I didn't notice until someone said something.
Daily Mail:
World told to brace for 'severe geomagnetic storm' today - the first in nearly 20 years - which could bring chaos to mobile phone networks, GPS satellites and power grids
• The uncommonly powerful solar storm is expected to hit around midday Friday • It follows a series of solar flares that began on Wednesday, tipping officials off • The prospective storm could cause disruptions to GPS, the internet and power
A rare and powerful solar storm may occur in outer space today which could wreak havoc on earth, officials have warned – the first in nearly 20 years if it happens.
At least five streams of plasma, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are heading toward Earth, prompting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Friday into the weekend.
This is the first such alert aired since 2005 when Earth was hit with the highest dose of radiation in a half-century.
This time around, the 'unusual event' could disrupt electronic devices like GPS and parts of power grids, NOAA said – while citing how it may also drape a huge portion of the country, as far south as Alabama, in colorful natural lights.
The CMEs exploded from a massive sunspot, an area on the sun that is cooler than the surface, on May 8 - paving the way for Thursday's alert.
In it, officials explained how the expulsions of matter and magnetic field from the celestial body's atmosphere could cause problems for millions of earthlings as soon as noon ET Friday.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) – a division of the National Weather Service – is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8,' the emergency alert read.
'Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday.
'Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend,' it went on, before describing the abnormal activity that tipped space specialists off.
'A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday at 5:00 am ET,' it read.
'At least five flares were associated with CMEs that appear to be Earth-directed. SWPC forecasters will monitor NOAA and NASA's space assets for the onset of a geomagnetic storm.'
CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun's corona, which cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth.
A solar or geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere – the area around Earth controlled by the planet's magnetic field.
And the Friday storm has been rated 'G4' (on a scale of one to five), making it a 'severe' storm.'
'Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth's surface,' the statement went on, stating how the storm could 'potentially [disrupt] communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.'
It also could 'wipe out the internet' for some, scientists further warned – as NOAA upped the Geomagnetic Storm Watch from Moderate to Severe for Friday through Sunday late Thursday.
'SWPC has notified the operators of these systems so they can take protective action,' officials wrote upon administering the action.
'Geomagnetic storms can also trigger spectacular displays of aurora on Earth,' they added of some of the potential storm's more scenic side effects.
'A severe geomagnetic storm includes the potential for aurora to be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California.'
The last time the Space Weather Prediction Center issued such a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch was in January 20, 2005, beginning just before 2 a.m. ET.
A storm of energetic protons impacted Earth just 15 minutes later, causing a radio burst with a high frequency, indicating the presence of a large number of energetic electrons in very strong magnetic fields.
In the blink of an eye, the outburst shocked Earth with the highest dose of radiation measured in five decades, tripping radiation monitors all over the planet within moments.
'This flare produced the largest solar radiation signal on the ground in nearly 50 years,' Richard Mewaldt of the California Institute of Technology said at the time, as other services like the internet were largely spared.
'But we were really surprised when we saw how fast the particles reached their peak intensity and arrived at Earth,' the scientist added.
In that case, the raging proton storm peaked in 15 minutes – though normally, the most intense part of a proton event typically takes two hours or longer to build up, officials said Thursday.
The event, if it occurs, will start as early as noon ET, officials warned – after a G5 storm in 2004 caused power outages in Sweden while damaging power transformers in South Africa.
This time around, the US will likely be affected, officials said.
Brace? For what? Colorful lights in the sky?

For any who do not understand, the Solar flares already happened this week, it takes 24-36 hours or so, depending on how fast it travels for the plasma to reach us. When the flares themselves hit, earth was blasted with radiation within minutes each time, hot spots from each, was at whatever part of the planet was directly facing at the time. If you have clear skies tonight, might try and catch the lights.
From what are they distracting us?

I remember 72 and 89. OTA TV and radio had snowy screens and bad reception. crackly phone calls for a couple of days. Nothing like it since, but it will be some day.
Could these possibly be threats from DS about using a DEW. Potentially, once they use it, they can be destroyed. Floating, attached to a helium balloon, these "satellites" must be nearly impossible to detect from distance.
