    If sometime this week, the moon is WAY more bright than usual...

    Do you:

    1) go underground
    2) head for high ground
    3) get a sunburn at 1am...

    The one below happened in June 2004, aimed like a laser straight at the earth. I remember it well; all the EM havoc it wreaked, made it hard to tell Rush Limbaugh from static on the radio, ships ran into hard seas, airplanes made hard landings, buses went off schedule, TV programs were hard to watch, digital watches and clocks all over the world were sometimes hard to read, traffic lights turned red too often, and one of qbee42's sheep got zapped by an excess static buildup when it strayed too close to the shed where he stores all the tinfoil. But we survived. Barely.

    Then you'd get a moonburn. It'll be full in a couple of days.
