NASA models using data from the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) have now provided more information about the two Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) associated with the two March 6 flares.

Such a CME could result in a severe geomagnetic storm, causing aurora at low latitudes,
with possible disruption to:

- high frequency radio communication
- global positioning systems (GPS)
- power grids.

The models also predict that the leading edge of the first CME will reach Earth at about 1:25 AM EST on the morning of March 8 (plus or minus 7 hours) and the event may last 3 days.

The first CME is traveling faster than 1300 miles per second; the second more than 1100 miles per second.

NASA's models predict that the CMEs will impact both Earth and Mars, as well as pass by several NASA spacecraft.

Sorry folks, false alarm.  The only date on the article was current but it appears this article is old...

"A huge mass of electrically-charged particles thrown out by a gigantic eruption on the Sun is due to strike the Earth tonight.

"Scientists expect it to trigger one of the most violent geomagnetic storms ever recorded.

"The result could be widespread power surges and even blackouts, disrupted TV and mobile phone signals, and broken down communication satellites.

"At the same time the Northern Lights, normally confined to polar latitudes, may produce dazzling displays in the skies above southern Britain.

"At least one satellite has already been knocked out of action by the storm. Japan's space agency said its Kodama communications satellite had been temporarily shut down after malfunctioning.

"The solar flare that caused the eruption burst out of a sunspot at 10.54am yesterday.

"Experts said it was the strongest flare seen in the past 30 years. The explosion caused a coronal mass ejection (CME) which is now speeding towards Earth.

...

"Geomagnetic storms are classified on a scale of one to five. Initial indications are that the looming storm could reach the highest G5 level and last for 24 hours."

Please read this entire document.  It is a wealth of information about the two types of shifts.  It also confirms my suspicions that to survive we need to be as far away from coastlines as possible and as high in elevation as we can possibly be, without risking exposure to solar radiation. 

There are two types of poleshifts:  (1) geographic (aka geophysical) and (2) magnetic.

Here are a few excerpts:

The first type, if 180 degrees, is called a "slate wiper." 

..."can take as little as a few hours to a few days! As we are now in the Galactic Plane, we may have several Pole Shifts of type one and type two."

"What would result from a pole shift? We can describe it as 'the ultimate disaster.' Enormous tidal waves would roll across the continents as the oceans became displaced from their basins. Electrical storms with hurricane winds of hundreds of miles per hour would sweep the planet. Tremendous earthquakes and lava flows would wrack the land. Poisonous gases and ash would fill the skies. Geography would be altered as seabeds rose and land masses submerged. Climates would change instantly. And if the shift were less than a full end–over–end, the polar ice caps, exposed to strong sunlight by having moved out of the frigid zones, would melt rapidly...[Emphases added]

[Gives details about the types of poisonous gases and how to deal with them...Very Important Information especially if you are considering sheltering in caves!]

"...a Geographical Pole Shift could generate a Geomagnetic Pole Shift."

"A Geomagnetic Pole Shift, if it occurs rapidly, could cause plasma TVs to burst into flames; electricity and the things it serves would be affected on Earth in a negative manner. The reason would be because of induced current, which would "fry" transistors and delicate electronics and electrical systems. The magnetic fields, as they shift quickly, would cause (induce) a current across conducters carrying current. This induced current would be so large that it will burn out delicate wires and the electric parts they are serving. The magnetic pulses cutting across conductors can cause capacitors and transitors to burn out by generating more current than the transitors and capacitors are capable of carrying as well as their conductors. We would experience fires in vehicles, airplanes, and even witness planes falling out of the sky because their motors stop due to the small delicate electronics burning out. Motors are generally geared to take a brief surge of overcurrent.  With large induced currents in the world's electrical system, whole grid blackouts would be evidenced across the entire planet."

...

[I have mentioned about how we will undergo assaults on our minds...crime will escalate, insanity will become rampant... finally here is some scientific details showing the processes involved and possible countermeasures...]

"As the Earth goes through The Galactic Plane, the pineal gland may experience a disruption from powerful ElectroMagnetic Fields and ElectroMagnetic Pulses causing a massive die–off and/or a species extinction of all species. We may well experience significant changes in function of the organism in all species. The weak will not survive, we surmise. The sleep–deprived will drop like flies when "push comes to shove." The stress will be horrendous. Melatonin will help. We feel it is best to get it from one's own body biochemically, if the body still can produce it sufficiently. During this horrendous time, supplementation would definitely be advisable. What we are about to write is not for the squimish! Go to the next bullet if you don't like that which is dire...very dire. What we just spoke about, "dropping like flies...," we feel people and whole cities going down—people just dropping on the streets. It won't be because of the rocks falling, etc., but the extreme stress and the EMP/EMFs that may be caused by the rocks, the Galactic Ripple(s), heavenly bodies passing near our Earth, and other things interferring with our normal Central Nervous System's Biofield. One problem will be the young. Mostly they will not make it. They are not prepared in mind, body, and spirit for what is about to befall them. First, and almost, if not simultaneously, the economy of America, then the world's, drying up. Cities, states, and whole governments bankrupt, such that they print ridiculous amounts of money, and to no avail. Remember this! That is one of the reasons you prepared. And, the tremendous effects of The Galactic Plane not even felt yet nor witnessed. This is still to come. Those who survive this initial insult against the chemistries of the body will probably be those few in the cities that have prepared and are following various advices of the sages of time: Watching the for "Signs of The Times." The people who survive this mainly will be those rural Americans, including those who have gotten out of the cities and joined them in a convent relationship, who by current standards, are poor. They have one land–line phone; few appliances; some cows and a Jersey or two and have real milk and real meat; real crops that produce real food native to the area and have real organic chickens with real organic eggs. These rural Americans have not been weakened."

"All the cells of the body, including the brain and muscle tissue, need adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the body, to drive the metabolic machinery and creatine phosphate (CP). You can recharge your energy of the muscle cells and others with creatine monohydrate powder. But, wait...why are we talking about this just now? It is because we just finished discussing what is going to happened to the sleep deprived. During sleep deprivation, CP levels quite often go down too, such that there is a decrease in:

• Mental functions.
• Decision–making.
• Short–term memory.
• Mood suffers.
• Coordination and balance suffers, and...
• Reaction time.

"Creatine supplementation helped thwart these problems for the sleep deprived. — Physiology Behavior, 90: 21–28, 2007. Another supplement we suggest to be on now is Glutamine powder. This and creatine powder can be mixed with plain protein powder or just water and downed. the glutamine has now been suggested from preliminary studies to reduce excess Cortisol from a chronic stress–response. With what is coming, the stress will be chronic soon, and cortisol, high. We further suggest to eliminate polyunsaturated fats from your diet in the form of cooking oils, tablets, pills, capsules, etc. Get it naturally in the foods you eat. We suggest to strengthen the cellular health with butter and coconut oils, in moderation, and eat about a tablespoon or less of cooked fat on red meat."

"There will be, due to turbulent forces of the Pole Shift, geoclimatic winds of hundreds of miles an hour.

"Huge Forest Fires Will Rage From the GeoClimatic Sudden Change caused by violent electrical storms, magnificent volcanic eruptions, and sudden changes in temperature.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS: A major geomagnetic storm is in progress following the impact of a CME on August 5th around 1800 UT. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras after nightfall. Tip: the best hours for aurora sightings are usually around local midnight. Aurora alerts: text, voice.

Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say that the CME impact may have strongly compressed Earth's magnetic field, directly exposing satellites in geosynchronous orbit to solar wind plasma. Stay tuned for updates on this aspect of the storm.

The arriving CME left the sun on August 4th, propelled by an M9.3-category eruption in the magnetic canopy of sunspot 1261. Click on the image to view a movie of the expanding cloud recorded by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory:

Note: The many speckles in this movie are caused by energetic solar protons hitting the camera.

NIGHT-TIME SOLAR RADIO BURST: The M9-class solar flare of August 4th produced a burst of shortwave static so powerful that receivers on Earth picked it up after sunset. "A RadioJove observer in Florida recorded the burst when the sun was 38 degrees below the horizon," reports amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft. Ashcraft's own radio telescope in New Mexico recorded the event 1 hour and 54 minutes after sunset:

"To my knowledge, receptions like this are very rare," says Ashcraft.

Indeed they are. This event brings to mind the iconic night-time solar radio burst of March 8, 1958. Five radio telescopes at the University of Florida picked up emissions from the sun while observing the planet Jupiter in tthe middle of the night. On the other side of the world, radio astronomers in daylit Australia confirmed that a powerful solar radio burst had taken place at that exact time. The event is described in a 1959 Nature paper by pioneering radio astronomers Alex Smith and Tom Carr. They considered the possibility that solar radio waves might have been reflected by the Moon or carried to the night side of Earth by ionospheric ducting. In tthe end, they could not conclusively explain what happened and to this day night-time solar radio bursts remain a puzzle.
