Severe Storm Watch and another X-Flare in progress.-A moderate (S2) to Strong (S3) radiation storm remains in progress following the energetic X-Flare produced by AR 3848.A severe (G4) geomagnetic storm watch was officially added beginning tomorrow when the fast moving CME associated with the flare event is expected to sweep past Earth. While there are no guarantees, a repeat of the geomagnetic storm and aurora event back in May could be on the horizon. I also want to thank everybody who have been submitting aurora photos from the past several days. I have a huge backlog and will work on a dedicated October gallery when I get a chance.Oh... and another X-Flare is in progress!Stay tuned to SolarHam(,com) for the most up to date information.
