Spacequakes Rumble Near Earth

Spacequakes Rumble Near Earth

Don't buy this? Look at all the 5+ quakes that appear across the globe three to four days following a CME and the resulting auroras. ;) Throw some syzygy (with a 5 day plus or minus window) and the high tides (and rainfall) into the mix and you'll notice even larger quakes!

Look for a number of 5+ quakes to rock the Earth around Aug 3rd-4th and since this follows the high tides of July 27th and the syzygy of July 28th, the CME induced spacequakes might trigger something even larger than a 5+, especially along the CA coast:

COMPLEX ERUPTION ON THE SUN: On August 1st around 0855 UT, Earth orbiting satellites detected a C3-class solar flare. The origin of the blast was sunspot 1092. At about the same time, an enormous magnetic filament stretching across the sun's northern hemisphere erupted. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the action:

In this movie, a shadowy shock wave (a "solar tsunami") can be seen emerging from the flare site and rippling across the northern hemisphere into the filament's eruption zone. That may have helped propel the filament into space.

In short, we have just witnessed a complex global eruption involving almost the entire Earth-facing side of the sun.

A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the event is heading directly for Earth: SOHO movie. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives on or about August 3rd.
