NEW: *Here’s the situation* Earth is just hours away of being entirely consumed by a colossal storm cloud moving at ~2 million mph from the recent M8.1 Solar Flare that produced the massive CME headed this way.

Since that high profile event three more earth directed events have occurred and that energy is also racing towards the earth! 2 back to back M2 Solar Flares with more earth directed solar mass and just hours ago yet another X Class Solar Flare (X1) that also hurled another high energy storm at the earth.

In just a few short hours earth will start to feel this energy and a strong geomagnetic storm is expected, as well as an increase in global earthquake activity and volcanic activity! Satellites could also experience disruptions.

If it’s not cloudy in your area pay attention to the north skies tonight. Buckle up and have your cameras ready…it’s about to get interesting!!
