WASHINGTON – The sun’s first X-flare of the year – packed with an electromagnetic pulse effect capable of damaging electrical grids and unguarded electronics – erupted Wednesday in the direction of Earth, and its full impact is yet to be felt.

The flare, observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, contains the energy of millions of hydrogen bombs exploding all at once.

There was a major concern about communications being compromised by solar magnetic flares after the 2012 apocalyptic Maya year and so far everything has been under control.

Why would this one be different?

so far we have been lucky nothing has happened. our power grids are unprotected against anything like that happening. it can also be a man made EMP.

I do remember reading several articles about the subject but so far nothing major has happened yet FEar has been re-inforced to the daily list dose of any normal human.
