Sudden ionospheric disturbance reported over Europe as Sun unleashes more flares

Posted on January 1, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol

January 1, 2012 – SUDDEN IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE: Today around 1320 UT, a wave of ionization swept through the high atmosphere over Europe after sunspot AR1389 unleashed another M2-class solar flare. “There was a very clear sudden ionospheric disturbance on my VLF radio instruments,” reports Rob Stammes, who sends these data from the Polar Light Center in Lofoten, Norway. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of more M-flares during the next 24 hours. There is also a 5% chance of X-flares. Solar winds from the coronal hole seen below should hit Earth on Jan. 2. –Space Weather

More high winds in Colorado. Headline on KKTV internet news tonight: Another Windy Day: 114-MPH Gust In Colo. Mountains. Friends in the Westcliffe area say more trees are down and the power is out again. January is usually windy, but this is amazing.

FARSIDE ERUPTION: Departing sunspot AR1384, currently located just behind the sun’s western limb, erupted today around 14:45 UT. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the debris flying over the edge of the solar disk:The eruption appears to be connected to magnetic filaments snaking over the horizon to the Earthside of the sun. Will this event affect our planet? Probably not. It is located too far from disk center. Stay tuned, however, to see what kind of CME the blast produced.
