Scientists: 'Extreme' solar storm heading to Earth

An extreme solar flare is blasting its way to Earth and could mess up some power grids, satellites and radio transmissions, scientists say.
It's been several years since Earth has had a solar storm of this size coming from sunspots smack in the middle of the sun

Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a powerful X1.6-class solar flare (Sept. 10 @ 17:46 UT). The source was active sunspot AR2158, which is directly facing Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

Sorry if this is a dumb question…

When it hits will it hit long enough to cover the whole earth as it turns for 24 hours? Or will it expend its energy on one hemisphere?

Which hemisphere?

In all of recorded history do we know of any deaths directly related to solar flares? I don't think I've heard of even one, so I'm not worried at all.

I am considering putting my tablet in the microwave overnight - how long until it hits?

Is this bad enough to fry our devices etc?

If it's not this it will be something else - I need a broken wisdom tooth out in the hospital, I better start moaning at them again tomorrow.

And if by the good grace of God this thing doesn't cause any issues, then let's all work together to stop NATO and Russia/possibly other BRICS countries going to war and sending us into yet another unnecessary dark age.

Please

Uh, hate to break it to you but we had 3 X-class flares already in June. And we've had solar storms every year since the beginning of the universe.

Bugging out is very unnecessary.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

Spaceweather.com is slow because of the traffic, but if you can get through you'll see that there is a moderate happening and not anything even remotely worthy of a 'bug out'. (not that you could 'bug out' from a solar flare hit anyways .. no place to go).

I'm looking forward to Friday and Saturday night. I have hope that I will finally see the Northern Lights. They are on my bucket list.

We will either take a drive out from under the Philly lights out to Lancaster to sky watch for a while (it's dark out there in all the Amish farms) ... or we may even take a weekend drive and go further up north to New England for the weekend and maybe we'll have a better chance there.

As for 'OMG BUG OUT' ... not even close. Don't worry about it.

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

Some telegraph operators got shocked and some telegraph paper caught fire, but that's about it. This flare is nothing like the 1859 flare though. I'm not too worried.
