   SOLAR FLARE FRENZY AND CME: Yesterday, May 22nd, sunspot AR2824 unleashed a sequence of solar flares unlike anything we've seen in years. In only 24 hours, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded 10 C-flares and 2 M-flares: movie. The rapidfire explosions hurled multiple overlapping CMEs into space. According to NOAA models, at least one of them will graze Earth's magnetic field on May 25-26. The impact of the CME's dense flank could spark G1-class geomagnetic storms and auroras. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

	The speed of these CME's amazes me , Yep, we'd be screwed in a Carrington event...... (Yipee no twits on twitter.....) Get that Farraday cage ready...... Take care all 😷😉

	Well it would take our minds off Covid......
	Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.
