    Unfortunately NOAA is the program under attack by Dear Leader Mangolini. So enjoy while you can. This will pretty much give you a 24 hour heads up on the big storms, it shows the strength and the location. You’d be suprised what you can pick up if you’re within 100 miles of some red spots on that map. Solar storms are hard to predict because its energy traveling from the sun at the speed of light. I’m just a photographer so hopefully we’ve got some science types to fill in the more technical aspects. I keep a laymans understanding of this stuff but probably not worth sharing.
