Yikes. Again.
This is the on-going Solar storm that was predicted:

Radial Velocity is at the white band, and this is forecast for later, where we're in the black band, about 1400km/s:

The animation below suggests that 3 different CMEs merged together, resulting in the expected situation later today:

The first two (red and white) were CMEs hurled out prior to the X5.1 flare, which itself produced the third one (black) that is expected to catch up and join the other two, with all three merging together. They call it a Cannibal CME but I'll just use the term "merge", thanks.
It's very choppy out in Space-Sea:

We are in a Plasma Tidal Wave.
I'll finish up here and move on to the next post.
Namarie! 💙
