Oh yeah!, X-5 flare just happened.. May be earth directed, Bring it Sun!!!

The temperature in Dallas, TX has dropped over 20 degrees in the last 30 minutes. I went out for lunch, and it was warm/humid 73f. When I came out of the restaurant, it was 49 degrees. The rain started downpouring on the way home, and the wind has changed direction. I noticed the flags on the wayout to luch with South winds, coming home, the wind was from the Northwest.

I think this is just the front edge.

Yeah, this is just the beginning of the system that is supposed to bring most of E TX 4-6" of rain in the coming days.

All in all, i seen no kinda impact from this supposed cme that the professionals said were gonna hit us in the nose.... either these guys are like the weathermen, who haven't a clue what they are doing... or this is a conspiracy in the making!!

I'm still waiting for the solar wind to hit. Much milder CME's have produced high winds in my area. Still very calm and very bright in my region of the northern US.

I can't keep up with it. That solar wind keeps blowing the tin foil off the roof faster than I can put it back.

Bz is maxing out North, is that going to be bad or not?

This is nowhere near an exact art. It's still pretty much guessing at this point. All signs pointed to it hitting a bit harder than it did, but it was never supposed to be huge. Media blew it up.

Updated @ 18:27 UT The ACE sensor for solar wind speed is not functioning at this time, as it shut its self down into safe mode when the proton density got too high. We are now looking to SOHO for solar wind speeds.

I guess by this statement it's not a bad thing

TextThe Bz component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) has been pointing mostly to the north and this is keeping the geomagnetic storm at minor levels thus far. Should the Bz begin to point south for long durations, this may help intensify the storm.

Not such a bad thing really. Either way there is not much to be gained by lying about it either way. Hyping it is another, and that what gets the masses attention. While it seems the outcome is effectively a non-event at least with the media hyping it up, the word is out and people will at least think about it, and that is a good start.

Anyone dead yet? Anyone without power? Didn't think so......
