No animated magnetosphere since Friday (3-9-12) and again today Sunday MARCH 18, 2012 ???

Will post once it is released by the Japanese website.

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Geomagnetic storminess is usually indicated in oscillatory variations in the earth's magnetic field. Additional detail concerning the nature and severity of the ionospheric disturbance can be found through analysis of the three components of the field. Data from a chain of magnetometers are also available.

Magnetosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere

A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles, such as the solar wind, interacts with and is deflected by the intrinsic magnetic field of a planet or similar body. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the other planets with intrinsic magnetic fields: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn…

The Kiruna magnetogram provides realtime data of the local Earth magnetic field at ground level. Strong deviations in the data, primarily the black line could signal the development of geomagnetic activity. The curves on this plot show deflections from an average. The average is derived from the monthly means of the five most quiet days.

Dutchsinse | 3/18/2012 -- Tornado watches , hail detected = South and Midwest

It begins ... the time for "awareness" of the threat for severe weather is over.. the time to be ALERT is now here! the next low pressure system (that was coming ashore on the west coast this past several days)... is now finally pressing eastward through the USA.
As it moves southeast towards Texas.. then eventually northeast towards the east coast USA ---- severe weather, damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes will develop out in front of this system.
Currently, we see tornado watches issued by the National Weather Service -- for areas in North Central Texas.. and Central Western Oklahoma. These "watches" can turn to "warnings" very quickly at a moments notice.. thats when people on the ground need to seek physical shelter .
Expect these severe watch / warning areas to expand over the next few hours (and days ultimately).
Use the links I have assembled to monitor this severe outbreak for your particular area...

SolarHam.com | Farside CME - STEREO Behind COR2, Lasco C2 / C3 (3/18/2012)

A bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is seen in the latest Lasco and STEREO Behind COR2 images. This event was farsided and not Earth directed.

Dutchsinse | 3/17/2012 -- Severe weather forming out west --- preparations should be made now

Today was a somewhat heavy day for the midwest -- damaging winds, nickel sized hail , excessive lightning ... Missouri, Illinois, Indiana have received the brunt of this first SMALL system.
Coming out west --- a very large low pressure system --- pushing its way south near the Border of Mexico/California -- pressing eastward eventually.. then northeast ..
This will draw the southern flow of warm moist air up from the south -- mixing the cold air from the north -- cold enough to produce a large winter weather advisory out west in CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, UT, CO.
When the system finally heads east (after the above mentioned western states).. it will give us extreme severe weather in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, (possibly nebraska), Lousiana, Mississippi , Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio .... eventually the east coast and south east as well... 
Expect severe damaging winds.. large hail.. and tornadoes in several of the above mentioned states.. if not ALL the above mentioned states. Only a few may be spared some kind of severe weather. Most will get the hail and damaging winds for sure -- lets HOPE few get tornadoes.
Time for preparation is now... in case of loss of home, property, or in case of injury --- make these plans and know them well... make sure your friends/family/loved ones also know the plan. 
Power outage, loss of shelter, loss of transportation, water cut off etc.. these are all common results of severe weather.. sometimes entire communities are wiped out (as was the case 3 weeks ago in the midwest).
FEMA turned DOWN disaster coverage for the people of Illinois (who lost entire towns)... so if youre looking for help AFTER a storm.. the only help you'll be getting will be from local government, family, or friends..... so have insurance if you can afford it.. if you rent.. get that renters insurance.. make sure it covers severe weather and earthquakes !!!
much love, be safe, and heed the warnings if they are issued for your area--- but don't RELY on the warnings.. if you see these storms forming... best to look for yourself to find out whats going on.. I've assembled several links you can use to monitor this current and coming outbreak personally...
