Funny all those 2012 dooms day watchers where almost right  :woot:

There's so many near misses in our solar space its almost insane.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Apparently this one was only a week off  that's horribly close. They also said it's 12% chance we will get hit by one of these solar storms in the next 10 years. Holy crap I guess I gotta start building a Faraday Cage......

Upon skimming through the headlines, I thought I was seeing "Miss Solar Storm" as well....

 

I thought it was a new Pageant or something, lol

All I have to do is tell him Miss Solar is coming and Faraday will run to his cage.

Oh, yeah.  Good point.  I probably wouldn't make a good trapper.
