Another large flare was unleashed just yesterday and it's having effects on us right now whether you realize it or not.  I was not on top of this when it first happened, but I'm now seeing tweets all over the country from people who have been having issues with their electronic devices as a result.  The coronal mass ejection (CME) was shot directly towards our planet, and is forecast to hit earth July 14th around 5:20am our time.  Check out the amazing video in the next slide.
