For details on the Great Solar Flare of 2017, see the 2nd video embedded above.
Analysis of impact of M5.5 flare that impacted our magnetosphere last night. Impact was not terribly dense and only modestly fast, so no major damage.
Yesterday the sun released TWO X-class solar flares. The first flare was an X2.2, while the second was much more intense and rates as an X9.3. Higher numbers correspond to stronger flares. The X9.3 is the largest flare recorded in our current solar cycle, which began in late 2008, and will likely overpower the earlier one on its way to Earth. The forecast is for impact tomorrow (Thursday).
The impact is predicted to be speedy, but not dense. Electrical disruptions are likely, but major grid issues are unlikely.
Update on hurricane Irma: its speeding up. Now expect Irma to hit south-east Florida on Sept 10.
