Well, the much anticipated interplanetary shock wave hit the earth about 20 minutes ago from a massive solar explosion a few days ago. The geomagnetic field of the earth is ringing like a bell. As per my previous posts on this subject (i.e Did you get a headache today?) watch out for migrane headaches that are produced by the low frequency electromagnetic waves produced by the geomagnetic storm that produce eddy currents in the brain. If you feel heart pains, call 911 immediately as you may be having a heart attack (about 1/3 of all heart attacks come from geomagnetic disturbances)...Groan, where is my headache medicine at?
