1/23/2012 — Earth directed — Large CME (coronal mass ejection) and Solar flare erupt from sun —

Watch the video here:

————————————————-

As if this week wasn’t shaping up to be busy enough with the current earthquake threat, and severe weather developments.

This may cause communication disruption (satellite) — power grid disruption, and magnetosphere stress — which can then cause earthquakes and severe weather as a result of the interaction. Possible large development of Aurora Borealis further south than normal.

Here are several links to monitor this solar flare and CME (coronal mass ejection):
