2. "Clear Dark Sky .com" - sounds like a Bush air pollution program
This is a great resource for finding when and where the sky will be clear near you.

3. Do these interfer in radio signals?
For the past two days, my radio reception has been in and out; plus, my TV's audio has been spiking up and down on it's own -- can those be due to this?

6. Today
There has been at least an X2 and an X1. What is going on with the sun lately? It seems pissed off or soemthing. I thought that there were solar cycles and we were supposed to be at a low point. So does this have anything to do with pole shifting, weather disturbances, earthquakes, etc.?
