Solar Tsunami Headed Toward Earth

It is true… I checked it out with the Associated Press and everything.  A solar tsunami is heading for earth as we speak.  Scary… well… not really!  Here is my understanding of what is going on.

1. This tsunami in space will hit our atmosphere causing various concerns.
2. While many think that this will be the end of the earth as we know it… this is not the case
3. Cell phone satellites as well as other satellites may be effected causing breaks in communications.
4. Most of North America should be able to see aurorae lights… it is of course supposed to rain here in NY
5. The radiation should not hit the ground… we will not suffer from any health threats
6. People flying in air planes may be exposed to a small amount of radiation (the same amount in an x-ray)
7. Although the chances are rare, NASA scientists warned recently that high-energy electric pulses from the sun could cripple our electrical grid for years, causing billions in damages

While this collision sounds scary it seems to me that we will all live through this invasion of the earths crust.  Some are saying that the world is coming to an end…  It is important to knows that this happened about every 11 years so there is nothing to worry about!  Here is a funny video from someone who thinks it is all over for us!
