QuoteTHE NEXT CME WON'T MISS: A full-halo CME is heading directly for Earth. ETA: March 13th. Coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the storm cloud leaving the sun just hours ago.
This CME is the result of a long duration C2-class solar flare near sunspot AR2962. Normally, C-class flares are not considered to be strong. However, this one lasted nearly 12 hours, allowing it to pump plenty of energy into the CME.
Moderately-strong G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the CME arrives. NOAA analysts are modeling this CME now, and improved predictions may be available soon. Stay tuned. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

We dodged another. But I've no doubt a huge one will come one day, hope to Hell I'm not here to see it.
