Solar flare

Another big one

BIG SUNSPOT, CHANCE OF FLARES: Yesterday, sunspot AR2339 unleashed an intense X2-class
solar flare. It might not be finished. The active region has doubled in
size since yesterday, and it has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that
harbors energy for more eruptions. Amateur astronomer Philippe Tosi
sends this picture of the behemoth sunspot from his backyard in Nîmes,
France:

As the blue-circular insert shows, several of the sunspot's dark cores
are larger than Earth itself. From end to end, the sunspot group sprawls
more than 100,000 km. These dimensions make it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. If you have one, take a look. You might catch some action. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-class flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on May 7th.


CME AND COSMIC RAYS:
A CME impact during the early hours of May 6th sparked a minor
geomagnetic storm. The storm is subsiding on May 7th as Earth exits the
CME's wake. Interestingly, one side-effect of the CME is lingering: The
solar storm cloud swept away some of the cosmic rays surrounding Earth.
According to ground-based neutron monitors, cosmic ray counts are down ~4%.

Oh yea, sociopaths, psychopaths are ahead of the game.

Sucks for you then, considering you aren't one.

Sociopaths and psychopaths don't care enough to prepare for something that isn't happening and may never happen. They don't have that anxiety and paranoia. Only people who are living in fear of the future do that.

"Sucks for you then, considering you aren't one."

I'm surprised you had to point that out. I've dismissed being either of the two everytime the subject has came up, I'd figured most people would know I wasn't referencing myself.

"Sociopaths and psychopaths don't care enough to prepare for something that isn't happening and may never happen. They don't have that anxiety and paranoia. Only people who are living in fear of the future do that."

Fear? I wouldn't say that. For some that plan on sitting in bunkers with their families yeah but I've been pretty adamant on roaming the area with all of my combat gear. I mean anyone without empathy especially socio/psychopaths would have a field day. There'd be no restrictions against stealing, killing, violence or blatant manipulation. Like TC said, wishful thinking.

Are they incapable of wishful thinking?

I have been stocking up on those carnation instant breakfasts (powder form) They don't taste half bad with water instead of milk. They will make a good meal replacement for the day and give you those needed calories if you are on the move and can't hunt. The generic version is just as good.

Activated carbon is also good to have for various reasons. Light weight and you can make your own.

I used to have some mre's. They are just so fucken bulky. My bug out bag is already full and heavy. Hopefully I will have a heads up if anything does happen. I need to bury some supplies at the house that I can come back for if I have to get out quick.

Ideally I would like to be able to hunker down in my house as long as I could. Being in the country and all. But realistically groups of people will make there way out there shortly and I will be over run. 

I could never run with a group because of trust factors. I always presume people are capable of what I am capable of. That wouldn't work out good for someone like me.

Hopefully I have time to load my truck down before I have to bug out.

I have about 25 MRE's left but I think foraging stores, gas stations and other homes should provide a steady supply of food for at least the first year. After that I'd imagine I'd take up fishing or hunting, possibly found a group that knows how to sustain itself farming. Doubt I'd stay with a group long anyhow
