[nflug] Resending CME warning to prove I can spell when I take time to proofread

[Boice]

A large Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun has produced a solar particle
& X-ray stream that is expected to hit earth on Thursday 2006-12-14 --today.

The NOAA has forecast a 55% chance of severe geomagnetic disturbances,
which in the past have damaged satellites and knocked out power grids.

Do as thou wilt, but I'm unplugging all sensitive electronic equipment
for the day.

BTW. good chance of Aurora Borealis Thursday night as a byproduct.  Add
that to the Geminid meteor shower we're in the middle of having, plus
the Mercury-Mars-Jupiter triple conjunction earlier in the week, and
it's been a busy time for folks who believe in omens from the sky. . .
