Im not trying to make it sound life threatening,
people just don't understand the madnitude of
events like this. This type of flaring is very rare at this time of the current solar cycle. One of these bad boys took out one of the AT&T telestar satellites back in 98 and this ones even bigger. Severe geomagnetic storming is perdicted for the next 24-48 hours. When people can't dial up the net or make a call on the old cell they tend to get a little uptight.
