WARNING: WE JUST HIT K7 CLASS (STRONG) SOLAR STORM TODAY

K7 (STRONG ) = G3 - Power systems: voltage corrections required, false alarms triggered on protection devices, and high "gas-in-oil" transformer readings likely. Spacecraft operations: surface charging on satellite components, increased drag on satellite, and orientation problems need corrections. Other systems: intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems, HF radio intermittent, and the aurora seen as low as mid-latitudes.

Hay SANman, could this have been the problem with this site just a couple of hours ago? Some of the sites I tried to access would not come up then my connection was cut. Just a thought.

taximom,

Not sure, but I have been dropped off here a couple of times this morning already. I am trying to find out if there are any warnings issued. I will keep watching. SANman, "Gone Fishin"

Not heading our way, but still may cause slight interruptions

12 Feb 2000 Solar activity remains low to moderate. There was a spectacular coronal mass ejection beginning late on Feb 11. It was still ongoing at 0500UT on Feb. 12. (details to follow) Elevated geomagnetic activity is possible on February 12-13 due to coronal mass ejections that occured on February 9 and 10.

I keep trying to access sights too and keep getting bumped off. So frustrating. At first I thought it was my computer, now I'm wondering. Please keep us posted! Thanks!

Do you get dropped from the site or do you get dropped from your ISP and have to redail in? Most of the time my ISP drops me and other times I can not get into the site.

SANman,

This past week I have consistently gotten the "illegal operation" notice when trying to access numerous sights that I generally don't have problems with. I can't even get into the sights! Of course, whenever I get these messages, I get bumped off AOL (I guess that's different from ISP's...still pretty computer illiterate!) and have to sign back on. The frequency with which this is occuring is amazing. I have a brand new Athlon 500 computer, so I wouldn't think it's my computer, but who knows? I guess I don't know enough about it, but it is very frustrating, to say the least!

Hay SANman, I have had both just today I had to redial at least 5 times in the space of 10 minutes. VERY frusterating.Keeping my toes crossed as the fingers are busy.

I also got the "illegal operation" when I tried to access this site earlier today. Sarah - Titus 2:4-5 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children, sober, pure, keepers of their own homes, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

Didn't NASA just put up a shuttle? Do they need a remake of Apollo 13?
