Apparently this one was only a week off  Laughing 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......

I got near Miss Solar Storm once.  Security dragged me away before I could demonstrate my coronal mass ejection.
