    Weird, I thought there might be 5 guys cognizant about sunspots back in the 1600s...most folks were too busy fighting the 30 Years War between the Catholic and Protestant Christians and then later fighting in Louis XIV's wars with everybody, to notice.

    AR-2673 has been very busy.

    At 5:10 a.m. EDT (0910 GMT), an X-class solar flare — the most powerful sun-storm category — blasted from a large sunspot on the sun's surface. That flare was the strongest since 2015, at X2.2, but it was dwarfed just 3 hours later, at 8:02 a.m. EDT (1202 GMT), by an X9.3 flare, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). The last X9 flare occurred in 2006 (coming in at X9.0).

    Could be a day or so for the energy to reach us.

    Well, we're all still here, and so are our power grids, cell phones and everything else. And he 'guarantees' the earth will be hit. Really? And when nothing much happens...?

    Everything on HF radio seems more or less ok. I'm in Europe and just heard a station in the Philippines, suggesting the ionosphere has quickly recovered.

    Anyone going to predict the occurrence of a "massive earthquake" linked to this CME?

    So, you are unhappy your power grid is not on its a$$. Interesting.

    I know a bunch of folks concentrating on mitigating the CME effects and working on bending Irma into the Atlantic as well. I'll give them your regards.

    Non direct X9 flare was never supposed to take down the grids, you should listen carefully what Ben says because he knows what he is talking about. Sure that flare might blow up some transformers here and there, make the skies dance with the lights, make people go more emotional & hotheaded and enhance the storms, create more earthquakes... Because energy has to go somewhere.

    Now if it was a direct Earth facing X20+ flare then I would start to get worried and that's not something we've seen in a while, if ever. At least not in these times, I hope that we will never see it and if we are being "protected" as I hope and think we are then there's not much reasons to be worried. Yet unfortunately this solar storm has already given Irma the boost and there's already another hurricane coming after it. Big earthquakes aren't out of the equation either.

    Irma is a hurricane in the troposphere. The CME will affect the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Hurricane Harvey did it's stuff without any unusual solar activity. Are you suggesting hurricane activity is related to solar activity? And how are your friends "working on bending Irma into the Atlantic"? Unfortunately - and probably tragically - their attempts appear to be futile.

    Mexico. That's it then. Conclusive proof.

    This has been suggested here on this forum Hurricane Irma and I believe there are other forums as well.

    You may want to do a little research. We have been "under fire" for this last month or so, well before Harvey cranked up. Read up at Suspicous Observers.

    From the reposts, the system outages have occurred as well, so you got your wish.

    Btw, deep state weather hijinks are harder to "deflect" than naturally occurring events. Needs more folks working together in mediation. Also, if you don't believe this stuff, why are you at at "woo-woo" site like this? This is a place where us crazies yak about crazy stuff.

    That's an excellent question. It's because sometimes it's useful for people to read alternative explanations, not just take on board woo stuff. Some people are not familiar with alternative explanations and only get the woo stuff to assimilate!

    Does Suspicious Observers have ANYONE contributing with qualifications or understanding of meteorology or atmospheric physics? If so who?

    "Under fire" from whom and how? No idea about your suggestion "I got my wish". I wish no ill to anyone.

    Maybe you could carry out a bit of research your own research regarding meteorology and atmospheric physics. Check out the amateur meteorology blogs and forums to see what they think is going on. Any weird stuff and they'd soon spot it.

    Believing woo doesn't make it true - really.
