August 5th Solar flares

Yes, it is true Autistic children react to magnetic shifts. The are very sensitive to energy. You can see them spinning, getting irritated etc. They do this to try and counteract the energy felt. Acknowledging to them that they feel something can make all the difference.

Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that strike the Earth's magnetic field.

Let us know if you or your child felt it!!!!! Comment below.

UPDATE - GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS - A major geomagnetic storm is in progress following the impact of a CME on August 5th around 1800 UT. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras after nightfall. The best hours for aurora sightings are usually around local midnight. Reports of Northern Lights are coming in from many European countries including Germany, Denmark, Scotland and the Netherlands. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say that the CME impact may have strongly compressed Earth's magnetic field, directly exposing satellites in geosynchronous orbit to solar wind plasma. The arriving CME left the sun on August 4th, propelled by an M9.3-category eruption in the magnetic canopy of sunspot 1261.
NIGHT-TIME SOLAR RADIO BURST: The M9-class solar flare of August 4th produced a burst of shortwave static so powerful that receivers on Earth picked it up after sunset. "A RadioJove observer in Florida recorded the burst when the sun was 38 degrees below the horizon."
"To my knowledge, receptions like this are VERY RARE." Indeed they are. This event brings to mind the iconic night-time solar radio burst of March 8, 1958. Five radio telescopes at the University of Florida picked up emissions from the sun while observing the planet Jupiter in tthe middle of the night. On the other side of the world, radio astronomers in daylit Australia confirmed that a powerful solar radio burst had taken place at that exact time. They considered the possibility that solar radio waves might have been reflected by the Moon or carried to the night side of Earth by ionospheric ducting. In tthe end, they could not conclusively explain what happened and night-time solar radio bursts remain a puzzle.
Tsunami in space - Effects of solar flares arriving on Earth. The impact of the series of eruptions on the Sun began arriving at Earth Friday and could affect some communications for a day or so.
Operators of electrical grids in the United States are working to avoid outages, but the country's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says some satellite communications and Global Positioning Systems could face problems.
Three solar flares erupted on the sun starting on Tuesday, and the strongest electromagnetic shocks were being felt Friday by the ACE spacecraft, a satellite that measures radiation bursts a few minutes before they strike Earth.
The sun is going from a quiet period into a busier cycle for solar flares, and an increase in the number of such blasts is expected over the next three to five years. Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that strike the Earth's magnetic field. The most common impacts for the average person are the glowing auroras around the north and south poles, and those could be visible this weekend. The magnetic blasts which have been likened to a tsunami in space, can also affect electronic communications and electrical systems. A 1989 solar flare knocked out the electrical systems in Quebec, Canada, but the current solar storm is not expected to be that powerful. On a scale of one to five, it is probably a two or three. But more significant solar storms are expected in the next few years. The most powerful known solar storm occurred in 1859. There were not as many vulnerable electrical items then, but it did knock out telegraph services, even burning down some telegraph stations. Other serious solar blasts occurred in 1921 and 1940, and one on Halloween in 2003.

STRONG SOLAR ACTIVITY: For the third day in a row, active sunspot 1261 has unleashed a significant M-class solar flare. The latest blast at 0357 UT on August 4th registered M9.3 on the Richter Scale of Flares, almost crossing the threshold into X-territory (X-flares are the most powerful kind). The number of energetic protons around Earth has jumped nearly 100-fold as a result of this event. The eruption propelled a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth.
Moving at an estimated speed of 1950 km/s, this CME is expected to sweep up an earlier CME already en route. Analysts at the GSFC Space Weather Lab say the combined cloud should reach Earth on August 5th at 10:00 UT plus or minus 7 hours: "THE IMPACT ON EARTH IS LIKELY TO BE MAJOR." The estimated maximum geomagnetic activity index level Kp is 7 (Kp ranges from 0 - 9).
The first of three CMEs produced by the recent spate of flare activity reached Earth during the late hours of August 4th. The impact was weak and is not expected to produce strong geomagnetic storms. The other two CMEs are still on the way and, as described above, they may have merged into a single cloud that could produce significant storming when they reach Earth today. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
