Please be warned of this only being a preliminary to the big destructive flare on, or around, November 11, 2011. People in the Middle East will be most affected. The 11/11/2011 flare may cause fatalities. Nobody seems to care about my predictions at 11-11orionsbelt.com. I'm trying to prevent casualties by warning people to be very aware of this time period and listen to emergency radio and television broadcasts to possibly seek shelter when the event happens. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES FOR THE LIGHT OF THE SUN TO REACH EARTH.

Looks like the new solar cycle is beginning to ramp up. The Sun emitted its first X-class flare in more than 4 years on February 14 at 8:56 p.m. EST. X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.
Active region 1158 let loose with an X2.2, the largest flare since December 2006 and the biggest flare so far in Solar Cycle 24. Active region 1158 is in the southern hemisphere, which has been lagging the north in activity but now leads in big flares. This particular flare comes on the heels of a few M-class and several C-class flares over the past few days.
The particle cloud produced by the Valentine's Day event appears to be rather weak and is not expected to produce any strong effects at Earth other than perhaps beautiful Aurora in the high northern and southern latitudes on February 17.
