Maximum X-ray Flux of 1.01e-04...

So am I going to just have trouble getting AM radio or do I need to tell my wife that I'm starting my apocalyptic soccer mom harem?

Back in the day I used to work at a LORAN-C control center. X class flares cresated a very specific patern on the time charts.

The time chart scale was measured in nanoseconds, essentially comparison between different recievers hundreds of miles apart and compared with three atomic clocks. We had a phone number to the national space weather center. We always knew about solar flares about 10 minutes before they did Something about the initial shockwave slightly compressing our ionosphere causing a change in the amount of time it took for radio waves to travel a few hundred miles.

We could also tune recievers to measure the 2nd and 3rd pass of the radio waves around the planet, flares really stood out there.

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 2887 (S26W03,
Dhi/beta-gamma) developed a few more intermediate spots, mainly near the
trailer portion of the region, and produced an M1/1N flare (R1-Minor) at
28/0740 UTC and an M2/1F flare at 28/1028 UTC. This region was also
responsible for several C-class flares early in the period. Four other
numbered regions remain on the visible disk. Region 2891 (N18E60,
Cao/beta) continued to rotate into view, but has changed little while
decreasing in overall activity. Region 2886 (S19W62, Hsx/alpha), Region
2889 (S23E23, Bxo/beta), and Region 2890 (S18W46, Bxo/beta) all
exhibited decay and were inactive throughout the period.

At approximately 26/2024 UTC a CME was observed off the Suns SE limb by
LASCO C2. As this CME propagated outward, it appeared to have a very
faint SW component as observed in STEREO-A. The source region is not
clear, but a possible candidate is dimming near region 2887 just after
26/1900 UTC. Initial analysis and model run indicate a glancing blow
late on 30 Oct. Additional analysis was conducted, but it too resulted
in a low confidence outcome.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to continue at low levels, with a slight
chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts on 28 Oct. As most of
the regions continue to decay, conditions are expected to return to very
low levels, with C-Flares likely and a continued slight chance for an
isolated M-class flare.

The problem with this sunspot group is it has been getting all twisted up to hell the last few days and blowing off a few flares building to this X1. This one as it rotates back into Earth view could be ready to go big shortly.

We need a klaxon symbol and a Panic Sub Forum.

So we know when to assemble....so we can panic in an orderly fashion and such.

While I love panic, I abhor mess and untidiness.
