huge solar flare to hit earth tomorrow morning

Occasionally, the "charged particles" headed toward Earth conspire, and gather in a strike force package, and attempt to hit something worthy and destroy it. This seldom works, but hitting the power lines in New York years ago was priceless. Nothing more fun than an entire major metro blacked out for several days...

Lol no but your cell phone might stop working for awhile in the morning.
So the rest of us will know what you Verizon customers have been through the past two days?

Verizon has been down? I haven't even noticed if they were. I use my phone for everything too.

Voice and text were down last night and the night before in Columbus. It was all over the news. Data still worked though.

I noticed Verizon stuff showing up late or out of order this morning. Weirdness.

Back to it, the solar flare portrait captured in ultra-violet wavelength:

(That's the flare in the upper right, where it's really bright.)

Here's the impact of the previous smaller flare, that hit yesterday.
