[californiadisasters] Global Eruption Rocks the Sun

I wonder if this the event that produced the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) close-call for Earth earlier this year?

For those of you CD nubes we discussed the 1859 Carrington Event earlier this year and the devastating effects such an event WILL HAVE upon our relatively fragile electronic and electrical dependent civilization in the future.

Perhaps the Carrington Event was one of these but we got a direct shot here in North America.

Yes gang, this relates to California Disasters as someday this place will have auroras overhead and powerlines and telephone lines and antennas of all sorts arcing all over place and nothing electrical or electronic working at all.
