Solar Bursts Could Disrupt Communications Today

Is your cellphone or GPS acting up? It's probably due to a solar flare. For more about solar flare, click here. For more on today's solar burst, click here. Today might be a good day to unplug yourself from all of your gadgets, relax and return to the pioneer days of yore (like 10 years ago).

That's odd, considering that noaa isn't seeing any flares. In fact they report all is clear...

I got the original info from Nasa.gov and from KGW here http://www.kgw.com/home/Solar-bursts-could-disrupt-your-cell-signal-123582449.html, that's also why it says "could" disrupt not "will." There's a cool video of it here http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/solar-flare-june-7-2011-photos-video-huge-solar-storm-pics-2799809.html
