The giant ball of fire that we revolve around makes life on this planet possible, and it has started to behave very erratically.  This should definitely be getting a lot more attention, because the link between solar activity and seismic activity has been well established by now.  Some scientists still try to dispute this, but the truth is that when the Sun becomes more active we tend to see more large earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions.  And of course if a large enough solar storm erupts, it could fry our power grids and throw our entire society into a massive state of chaos.

This week, the giant ball of fire that we revolve around "unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year"…

The sun has unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year, triggering strong radio blackouts across the globe. Just after 11:30 a.m. ET, a massive X2.7-class solar flare erupted from a newly emerging from a cold, dark region known as AR4087. X-class flares are the most intense in the solar storm scale — capable of disrupting communications, damaging satellites, and even threatening power grids on Earth.

Subsequently, there was another very large solar flare on Wednesday…

Just before 7:20am ET Wednesday morning, sunspot AR4087 emitted yet another solar flare: an M7.74.

Sunspot AR4087 is absolutely enormous, and there is concern that more solar flares could be unleashed as it "rotates into direct alignment with Earth in the coming days"…

Experts warn that more flares may be on the way as sunspot AR4087 rotates into direct alignment with Earth in the coming days, increasing the chances of further solar storms.

What we are witnessing right now is definitely not normal.

A solar filament that erupted from the Sun's northern hemisphere earlier this week was more than 600,000 miles long.

That made it over twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon…

On Tuesday, astronomers watched as a vast 'bird wing' eruption sent waves of superheated plasma surging across the sun's northern hemisphere.

At over 600,000 miles long (one million km), the filament of solar material was more than twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon.
