On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch. At least five earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed and expected to arrive as early as midday Friday, May 10, 2024, and persist through Sunday, May 12, 2024. Several strong flares have been observed over the past few days and were associated with a large and magnetically complex sunspot cluster (NOAA region 3664), which is 16 times the diameter of Earth.

*please, if we're going to have a Carrington event, I'd like to get home from yet another trip hauling people to/from LAX, thank you.

@ai6yr just tell them it’s not safe for them to travel since their plane might fall out of the sky…

If you’re lucky, they’ll stop asking you for rides.
