RubyTex 1,957 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anyone else heard it's happening?! Was on Facebook and people were commenting that there was lightning due South...but no thunder! Looked out myself and there were orange flashes in the sky, done a bit of research and it's a solar storm apparently. Mental...anyone else seen it? http://www.isciencetimes.com/articles/5926/20130821/solar-storm-2013-sun-coronal-mass-ejection.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
