CME waves from January 19th M 3.2 LDE Solar Flare Arrive as expected.

Just saw an interesting tweet

Power is out at my USGS office due to a blown up transformer nearby possibly due to a geomagnetic solar storm that occurred this morning

link please

Faulty? I'm not buyin it.

Eyewitnesses at the JIBWIS conference in Bauchi township now add that the three loud explosions heard overnight ion in the city was as a result of a faulty electric transformer that blew up close to the JIBWIS conference center.

Saharareporters had contacted the Commissioner of police in the state directly as citizen reporters affiliated to SR told they heard the explosions.

The CP responded to our inquiries by saying there was a bomb explosion on a railway line in Bauchi Township, apparently it wasn't a bomb as previously reported.

However, there were two separate attacks in Tafawa Balewa LGA and Lamar Katagun in the state.

Same here.My ears are extremely sensitive and can't take anymore of this.I'll be glad when its all over!

A G1 Level Geomagnetic Storm is now in Progress.

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Threshold Reached: 2012 Jan 22 2021 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor

Directed to Ham Radio Operators:

VHF AU Opening: Geomagnetic conditions are again near storm levels, and contacts are currently being made on VHF via the Aurora in both EU and NA. If you are high in latitude, turn the antennas north. It should be noted that there is also an Es opening up and down the east coast in North America with very strong signals.

This morning around 6 mtn time my weather radio alarm went off but no weather

The impact also disturbed Earth's ionosphere. In Atlanta, Georgia, radio engineer Pieter Ibelings monitored a 4.5 MHz CODAR (coastal radar) signal as it bounced off layers of ionization along the US east coast. "The moment of impact can be clearly seen on the CODAR radar plot," he points out:

what's that thing observed in atlanta exactly ? thanks

never tried to link a tweet before but here we go came from this profile [link to twitter.com (secure)]

K 5 now! [link to www.n3kl.org]

My mom called me from a Casino in Palm Desert CA said the power was out, they cannot get in there rooms yet...

Health effects?

Magnetic Storms Affect Humans:

'Medical statistics for Moscow show that 70% of all micro variations, caused by geomagnetic disturbances, are accompanied by an abnormally high incidence of heart attacks (a growth of about 13%), and blood-strokes (7.5% growth). The low and extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields destabilize the heartbeat, leading to a sudden death or infarction. Medical experts have finally explained why heart attacks take a heavy toll before a magnetic storm - because micro variations begin 24 hours before the storm"

You can see auroras now in reykjavik!

I made a crappy youtube showing images I took last night, has the first 3 hits on the magnetosphere.

Tromso, Norway K-index of 6=Storm level. It was at zero earlier today...wow.

Aurora clearly visible on Iceland's live cam.

Thanks to I Want To Believe 76 for posting this earlier!

GEOMAGNETIC STORM ALERT:
A minor Geomagnetic Storm (KP=5) is now in progress due to an incoming CME shock.
Be on the lookout for Aurora at high latitudes. Stay tuned to SolarHam.com for the latest information. [link to www.solarham.com]

I can also see it in Oslo, Norway now.

The NASA magnetopause simulation shows 24 hours of activity. Between 08:00 and 12:00 you can see that the geo-synchronus satellites were exposed to the solar stream several times.

Significant earthquake precursor signal detected on 01/22/12 at 2315utc/1815est. Possible 6+.

Radio Direction Finder has signal coming in East of France from somewhere out in the Northern, Mid to Southern portions of the Pacific plate to Alaska, Canada and Chile.


All who live anywhere in the vicinity of this line trajectory should be wary next 5 hours. Have escape plan ready and seek open terrain in the event of felt tremor. Secure most of your heavy objects and belongings around your home.


Namaste, Hopefully I am wrong. Or it hits an unpopulated area.

Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

wow. very cool.

makes me want to by some cheap EEG and bio monitors and take data on myself during the next one of these.

could there be information included in the initial photon burst (which arrives in advance of the charged mass)...? He sure seemed awful bright yesterday...

lol. my mind is wobbling again...

some intense pressure again, that makes almost 17 hours of some sort or another.

Taking a high density hit right now...

This CME continues strong. Over the past hour ACE has recorded Proton density levels in the 10 to 20 p/cc range.

hiya tom

well, i go to sleep :)

byes all

Hi IWTB
will do.
I finally got some rest myself.
have a good snooze!

Let's see what types of Bizarre Weather this will produce around the globe...I truly believe that these types of Massive Magnetosphere Hits' energy imposed on our atmosphere is creating many Bizarre weather incidents. Such as 100 MPH winds, Snow in the Sahara, 600 Million Lightening strikes in Western Australia, Torrential downpours causing Mudslides, Landslides, massive flooding, HUGE Killer Tornadoes, AND most frighteningly the Volcanic activity relative to our inner core's reaction to the warming of our planet's surface.

Just sayin'...

Is it me, or is it creepy we see no further data here.
