ALERT: MASSIVE SOLAR X-CLASS FLARES

We have the images of the succession of X-Class flare occurring on 6/6/00.

* Major Class X1.19/2B solar flare occurred at 13:39 UTC on 06 June from Region 9026.

* Class X1 flare confirmed WHITE-LIGHT flare in Region 9026!

* Major Class X2.31/2B solar flare occurred at 14:21 UTC on 06 June from Region 9026.

As to whether these flares will impact earth remains to be seen, but the position of dangerous region 9026 is most ominous and there might be more eruptions to come as the fiery maw swings towards earth.

KEEP WATCH!

I noticed that the north sidfe was most massive, next being west. It looks like it flared some on all sides that looks like a explosion. Have you noticed the increase in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions lately.
