MEGAFLARE!

Have you seen what's going on with the sun the last few days? Here's the xray graph. The X-flare is off the scale - a new level had to be put in to rate the flare! The planetary scale is also off the scale. This is a real event - did you happen to hear about it on the news tonight or in the last few nights? Of course not. With us still locked into the hurricane season and a killer typhoon just hitting Japan (did you hear about that one?), I just wonder how much power these flares will pump into these storms?
