Solar flare activity?
Can some one capture and post it, I don't know how.

Strange indeed! Isn't it today that a solar flare of unprecedented magnitude should reach Earth? Two days ago, one was discovered that basically was "off the charts" according to the Drudge report. Swissrose.

This does coincide with a coronal mass
ejection from the sun. If this hit during
a time when the load was near maximum, the
grid would have crashed and the western
States would have been blacked out for a
week.
Times are in Universal Time which are 9 hours
earlier than PDT.

I corrected for Daylight Time the wrong
way. PDT is 7 hours earlier than UT.
