NOAA has now made it's official announcement of the most damaging Solar activity this world society has ever seen. My research suggest the earth has seen this phenomenon many times, but know one in the last several generations have. It is because we are in what is often being described as a "Mega Cycle". This goes way beyond the 11, 22 1200, and 12,000 year cycle's we are familiar with. This "mega cycle" occurs once every several thousands of years (exact number unknown at this time) and is more severe than any event previous seen.

The article below does indeed acknowledge the severity of such events, but stops way short of its connection to the severe affect on weather. Earth Changes TV again acknowledges and appreciates the Associated Press for covering this most important event that will affect us all.

NOAA Announces Storm Warning Scale...11/10/99

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Sun will greet the new millennium by turning angry, erupting into the most active part of its 11-year cycle with outbursts of energy that can threaten satellites, electrical power and spacewalking astronauts. Officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday the approaching solar storm could be more destructive than previous cycles because the Earth has more power grids and satellites that might be affected. There are also 600 satellites, more than ever in history, that also might be affected, said D. James Baker, the NOAA administrator. This year the power companies and satellite operators will be better prepared than ever, he said. Two satellites, operated by NOAA, NASA and the Air Force, are positioned in orbit to warn about hazardous energy bursts from the sun.

The scales will predict the intensity of three types of energy eruptions from the sun: geomagnetic, radiation and radio storms. For geomagnetic storms, caused by ejections of charged masses from the corona of the sun, there is a scale of G1 to G5. The strongest, G5, warns of electromagnetic energy powerful enough to knock out power grids, disable satellites and cause auroras, the so-called northern lights, to be visible as far south as the equator.
 
For radiation storms, caused by bursts of protons and neutrons, the scale is from S5, the strongest, to S1. An S5 storm would be powerful enough to kill spacewalking astronauts, disrupt communications, cause memory losses in satellites and even disrupt navigation signals.
 
For radio storms, caused by bursts of radio frequency energy from the sun, the scale is from R5, the strongest, to R1. An R5 storm could cause a blackout of high frequency radio signals on the sunlit side of the Earth and disrupt low frequency navigation signals for hours.
