Beware of the Flares

[Blue Cat]

Yes I know that it's over egging and it's the Daily Mail, but the pictures are amazing and it will be interesting to see if anything does happen.

Also worth keeping an eye out for those northern lights tonight

It's OK - it won't affect anything british that's in flight - we use aeroplanes, you see.

Looking forward to it.

The Northern lights were gorgeous on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning so I'm hoping for more of the same tonight but it looks like it may be a little cloudy this evening.

Every time there is a solar flare, they always say it could knock out Skynet, blackout a hemisphere and disrupt everything from nuclear powerstations to tamagotchis.

All that happens is everyone stands outside looking for northern lights that never appear.

That was awful when 6 years ago all those terrible things happened.

About 70 miles North East of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Middle of nowhere.
