"MAJOR FLARE WARNING: Sunspot AR2860 is big, angry, and it's directly facing Earth. The active region just unleashed a significant M4.7-class solar flare (Aug. 28 @ 0611 UT), probably hurling a CME toward Earth: movie. If current trends continue, a major X-flare could be in the offing, so stay tuned."

A solar tsunami went off hitting a sun spot towards earth that released a CME. We already heard the EM over shoerwave.

Why doesnt anyone take this stuff seriously? No electricity means no ventilators or emergency services for COVID patients. This is why I cant sleep at night.

Does anyone know of a web site where you can see this coming? I used to know of one spaceweather doesnt show you the map so its not that site, cant find it through google. Storm hits tonight or tomorrow.

No need to get nervous.

The first, hurled toward us by last Thursday's solar tsumani (C3), is expected to arrive on Aug.30. The second, ejected by Saturday's solar flare (M4.7), could come on Aug. 31-Sept 1. Neither CME is particularly bright or powerful; however, they could combine to produce G1-class geomagnetic storms.

C- and M-class xray flares are rather weak and a G1-class storm is weak. It gets interesting if the flare is an X-class one and the predicted geomagnetic storm is G3 and above.

I'm not sure the folks in New Orleans care about solar flares.

We're coming out of solar minimum, so an increase in flares is to be expected. No news here.
