Solar weather forecast

Well, this is nifty.
Looks like the sun erupted a particularly large flare yesterday and now a large solar storm is headed our way at around 4 million miles an hour. The storm is apparently going to arrive early tomorrow morning (2-5 AM) and last all day, so do not be surprised if you experience power or networking disruptions. Nothing serious is likely to happen, however; we're well protected with our natural deflector shields (aka the magnetosphere). Still, things like power, GPS and wifi might be disrupted tomorrow. Should be an interesting work day for an IT tech like me. :P

FA+

if its going 4 million miles a hour how does that equal to lasting all day?
The sun's just reminding us all here on Earth.
"You can murder, rape, rob, fight, cause all the havoc you want. But I'm still in charges, bitches."
