[Meatloaf] Strong solar storm

[Jeff Hayas]

A strong Solar-Wind Storm indeed.  I have been following Solar-Flare
emission storms for 15 years, and this is the MOST INTENSE one that I've
ever seen.
There has not been a G4 scale storm since 2005
<https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/swpc-issues-its-first-g4-watch-2005>,
Except for one this past May which may have even reached the G5 level.

Note: there are 3 solar storm factors and scales
<https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation>: X-ray (R1-R5), Protons
(S1-S5), and Terrestrial Geomagnetic "disturbances" which involve kilovolt
differentials between the North and South poles of Earth's geomagnetic
field. The Gn scale is linear, but the Rn and Sn scales are Log-10.

Here are the live NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center charts (for amateur
scientists).

The Aurora Borealis should be visible from Colorado tonight.
