It isn't in the mainstream news yet
Sun unleashes powerful 'Valentine's Day Solar Flare' (video)
Scientists are predicting even more X-class flares, including Chamberlain. “This is the first of probably many more X-class flare to occur over the next 2 to 4 years as we reach the peak and then descend back down from solar cycle 24 maximum.”
Theoretical physicist and professor, Michio Kaku, appeared on Fox News in 2009 and warned about the “temper tantrum” of our sun. Kaku stated that the sun can release a “tsunami of radiation” that can take out communications satellites, GPS systems, weather satellites and many others.

We may get see the Aurora Borealis further south than normal.
