If your satellite dishes haven't blown away or floated away in the
floods, or been affected by rain-fade within the atmosphere, then
the solar wind may well fix your quiet evening.<br>

<pre>Space Weather News for March 7, 2012
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spaceweather.com/">http://spaceweather.com</a>
SOLAR ACTIVITY: Big sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major flare--an X5-class eruption on March 7th at 00:28 UT. As a result of the blast, a radiation storm is underway and a CME will likely hit Earth's magnetic field in a day or so. Geomagnetic storms are already in progress at high latitudes due to earlier eruptions from the active sunspot. Last night, auroras were spotted over several northern-tier US states including Michigan and Wisconsin. Check <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spaceweather.com/">http://spaceweather.com</a> for updates and images.
