Early this morning a solar flare left the sun, part of it will glance off Earth. The storm is strong enough to trip entire power grids, screw up GPS satellites, and knock out communications on Earth.


Watch the second video

So if your 60 feet off today, may be due to this? Confused

That could explain our Internet going out for several hours! Too crappy to go outside today anyway.

not supposed to effect anything until Thursday morning so if you are off today, you have no excuse Wink

I will be looking for the Aurora though.

Well, there seems to be more sunspot activity reported in the news lately.
