From the article: 'This event registered a 9 on the K-Index, which measures the maximum deviation of the Earth's magnetic field in a given three-hour period...The scale ranges from 0 to 9, with 9 being the highest. This was a significant event.' See the article on the NOAA site for more information." Spaceweather.com has details on the resulting auroras.

Is my pr0n in any danger?
I don't know if I'm exceptionally swift or if the topic is just boring.

You forgot the comma:
"because they like having more, then two options."
You know... if they like having more, then two options. Or did you mean than, as in the comparative?
Why is it that only the USA is directly affected by this "solar magnetic storm"?
It's probably just a precursor to some hyper-US electromagnetic field test.
I think that the U.S. Gdubbyament is putting these breadcrumbs out so they preempt/outsmart the inquisitive TV media outlets in case something unforseen happens in their testing.
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
The submitter had to mention Escape from L.A, bringing back a trauma I had successfully surpressed for many years. I saw it in a theater, for free at a preview screening, and still felt ripped off. I want those two hours of my life back! What an enormous waste of talent for everyone involved. I was hoping for the guilty, trashy fun of Escape From New York. Nope. It was just sad, limp and stupid. You've heard of straight to DVD? Escape from LA should have been straight to Mystery Science Theater 3000. A really crummy movie...
I thought it was OK compared to N.Y. Both movies were kind of trashy. However, Kurt Russel's character was very 1-dimensional. What really drove me crazy is the way in which he speaks. And the whole scene where they come flying in on those hang-glider things attacking all of the thugs is hillariously pathetic. And how can you forget the scene where he's surfing the tsunami and jumps on the guy's car? HAHAHAHAHAHA. That is the epitome of jumping the shark. God, that shit was hillarious. There is also the scene where he has to play basketball for his life. LOL. On the bright side, Kurt Russel was a total stud in the movie. I say this as a heterosexual man who is comfortable with his sexuality. The President's daughter was a little slutty (to my liking). The overall feel of the film was just a low-budget, low-quality quickie to try to capitalize on the success/interest of the first movie and make some money. Still, I like to watch it for laughs, and I've always liked Kurt Russel. Backdraft, a great Kurt Russel movie, was on the other day. Unfortunately, that movie has problems of its own (namely a Baldwin not named Alec).
