443 Earth's Geophysical Situation is More Serious Than I Realized...

from SignsWatch ⦿ Seeing the Signs ⦿ and making sense of the Times

8 Feb 2026Intense solar activity, including numerous solar flares and a coronal mass ejection, has supercharged Earth’s global electric circuit. This has resulted in unusually intense auroral displays, even under minor solar wind conditions. However, the lack of significant earthquake activity suggests that the built-up energy may eventually be released in other ways, potentially through seismic events.The Earth is currently experiencing a highly charged ionosphere and radiation belts due to recent solar activity, including M-class and X-class flares. This energy is expected to equalise with the Earth’s surface, potentially leading to increased seismic and volcanic activity in the coming weeks. The aurora borealis is a visible manifestation of this energy dissipation, and further solar activity is anticipated due to ongoing solar flares and planetary alignments.
