It popped another big one, and this one may be a bit of a problem as the green line is above the dotted one, might see some radio blackout and satellite problems.

A bit too early to tell. we will see in about a half a day.

That is a highly charged release. Usually 4 days for the full impact to be seen on earth.
How is it in your crater ?

I've been lining the roof with some lead sheeting I had lying around since the cold war days, the old mine shaft is stocked with my favorite scotch, and the CO2 ice maker is on standby.

All shotguns have been loaded with Zombie loads.

C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast

Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24
hours. The largest was at Sep 10 2017 1606 UTC

Radio Blackout Forecast for Sep 11-Sep 13 2017

Sep 11 Sep 12 Sep 13
R1-R2 80% 10% 1%
R3 or greater 50% 1% 1%

Rationale: The potential for R1-R3 (Minor-Strong) radio blackouts exists
on day one (11 Sep) from Region 2673 as it rotates around the W limb.
Probabilities are expected to drop rapidly as the region moves further
from view on days two and three (12-13 Sep).

It's been affecting the internet links here, all our internet up here in the boonies are on 5 GHz microwave links, some with long paths to the distribution towers have been calling me for help with this,(only RF engineer in 50 miles, I also fix the computers around here) I have to tell them that it may take several days for it to clear up.

Mine was spotty last night and this morning, hope this gets through.
