AAEM News: Sun spot FYI

>Hi Dr Armstrong

>I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that  there
>is some significant Solar-induced electromagnetic activity early
>this morning from three Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) that have
>combined en-route to Earth. They could provoke mild to moderate
>geomagnetic storms and unusual electromagnetic (EMF) activity when
>they arrive on August 4th through 6th.
>
>Given the scale of the combined CME, any particularly EMF-sensitive
>patients may feel this.

>Moving at an estimated speed of 1950 km/s, this CME is expected to

>Space Weather Lab say the combined cloud should reach Earth on

>There are actually three CME balloons heading out way right now, the
>first two are going to be brutal (form an electric perspective), and
>will probably give some people vertigo or migraines pretty bad.
>Once we get the "snap" of the first bubble I woudl not be surprised
>if we get some seismic action, they really cuts loose when the
>second bubble hits.
>It is technically a triple CME, with the latest CME being so fast
>moving and massive that it will "compress" the two bubbles that
>proceed it, so we may just get s single snap, but it is going to be
>pretty potent either way.

> > SOLAR ACTIVITY: For the third day in a row, sunspot 1261 has
> unleashed a significant M-class solar flare. The latest blast at
> 0357 UT on August 4th registered M9.3 on the Richter Scale of
> Flares, almost crossing the threshold into X-territory (X-flares
> are the most powerful kind). Also, at least two coronal mass
> ejections are en route to Earth, and they could provoke mild to
> moderate geomagnetic storms when they arrive on August 4th through
> 6th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Check
