Solar Tsunami & M-Flare / Solar Watch June 15, 2011

Big active region 11236 is crackling with M-class solar flares. This newly numbered region has turned the north-eastern limb and looks like it may produce more strong category flares in the coming days.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) billowed away from the suns east limb on June 14th. Around 0810UT, a magnetic filament on the suns eastern limb become unstable and erupted. The resulting blast hurled a bright CME into space. This expanding cloud could deliver a glancing blow to the earths magnetic field June 17-18 time frame

[4842Chuck]

Was this recent CME larger and more dangerous than the X-class back in February? What's the difference from a X class and a large CME? Thanks beforehand.

[SolarWatcher]

@4842Chuck flares are a flash of electromagnetic radiation caused by an explosion on the sun. Coronal mass ejections usually follow a flare or resulting eruption, CME's are clouds of magnetized gas hurled into space also by an explosion on the sun.

###CME INCOMING ALERT###

...June 17 06.oo hrs (UTC)

~high Field Collapse Potential due to solar windstream segmenting at during period of evening side of my Earth, with the unknown variable being field orientation at the moment and the every so soupy Fukushima Volcanic 1st heaven down to the ground

[SolarWatcher]

@docatomics thank you, our magnetosphere has been hammered again

[zeppdogg]

what is that thing with the wings flying?

Thank You Brother Joe. The more I try to understand your work. The more intrigued I become. It is a truly remarkable giver of life, in so many ways it is life it's self. Its beauty just leaves me speechless. I am very greatful that you were choosen to open our eyes, to help us understand this knowledge ."Nothing should be feared but only understood". Thanks for what you do.

@aussiegirlonamission Aug 1st 2010 there was a massive one

[dan32749]

Great video thank's for your work .

[gloomysmokes707]

@loowood2 yes i saw the chemtrails today as well in the valley.

[loowood2]

Very well presented. I'm watching this on the 18th, this might explain the heavey Chem Trailing activity here. Norcal covered completely.

@toppgunn2232 Who knows, maybe you got a gun to your head...lol

WEAK IMPACT: A sharp gust of solar wind hit Earth's magnetic field today, June 17th, at approximately 0230 UT. This probably signaled the arrival of a CME en route from the sun since June 14th. The impact did not spark a significant geomagnetic storm, so bright auroras tonight remain unlikely.

IS there are proven link between sola activity and earthquakes? I live in taiwan where we have earthquakes every day.
