Has anyone heard of the massive solar flares that are heading our way? Supposedly, we could have power outages throughout the US and elsewhere. Could be hitting at anytime today, into tonight and this weekend.

Nope. Pretty sure we have different news sources though. Sounds like fear mongering.

"Severe" solar storm could bring Northern Lights to U.S. this weekend
The Sun has been emitting "strong" solar flares of high-energy radiation, raising the possibility of communications disruptions but also that the Northern Lights could be seen across parts of the U.S. from Friday evening.
The big picture: That's according to NOAA, which issued a "very rare" Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch — the first such alert in 19 years.

Severe in quotes. Northern Lights could be cool. I'll keep my eyes out.

I have heard of this. Have heard this same thing advertised a bunch of times in the past and reminds me of y2k, all hype.

Yeah, I've heard of these in the past, but they never turn into anything. This one is supposedly bigger and with 6 corona mass ejections on top of each other. So, idk. Probably nothing to worry about.
