Missinkling

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there; I did not die

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: On March 11th, the outskirts of a CME previously expected to miss Earth instead hit. The impact sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm (now subsiding) and bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Tour guide Marketa S. Murray photographed the display just before sunrise near Fairbanks, Alaska:

"We didn't expect to see much last night," says Murray. "Instead, it was an amazing night--all the colours you can imagine! Our guests were very happy."

This is a good time of year for auroras. For reasons that are only partially understood, geomagnetic storms favour the weeks around equinoxes; even a gentle gust of solar wind or, in this case, the sideswipe of an off-course CME can spark a good display. More lights are possible tonight as Earth moves deeper into the CME's flank.

This follows a recent discussion in uk.sci.weather to which I added this link.

Basically the obvious lead anyone can get from the appearance of solar activity almost every time a line-storm occurs is that there is a pattern.

The pattern being that whatever caused the line-storm is whatever caused the solar activity. Doesn't any of this seem logical to anyone else?

If I am wrong then it wouldn't happen every time would it?
Now if the First Cause was the same thing that causes other international activity there sounds like a reason to believe that too, is more than coincidence. Well; doesn't it?

Fortuitously we are planning some more according to the Australians:

I very much doubt any of it will be spectacular hardly more than one or two places experiencing high winds.

With very little hail and no tornadoes. But it may be well to expect more. Just in case.
And perhaps await a more likely experience to examine.

Barely on this scale perhaps:
