Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Had a lovely morning walking through Tahquitz Canyon, protected land of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
Saw some bighorn sheep. Heard a few distant rockfalls. Breathed some desert air.
