The solar flares are scares alright! The fact that the dangers have a factual basis doesn't make them any LESS scary. Quite the reverse, in fact.

Did ja know that people in planes on route from New York to London or viceversa while the solar flare was hitting the earth, all those people got what is equivalent to 8 chest X-Rays.
