Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 172 Issued at 2200Z on 20 Jun 2012 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 1504 (S16W77) produced a C3 flare at 20/1628Z which was the largest event of the period. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed during the period. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be predominantly low for the next three days. There is a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare from Region 1504 on day 1 (21 June) as it approaches the west limb. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 19/2100Z to 20/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels during the period. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic activity is expected to be quiet on 21-23 June.

Impact of Solar Flares in 2012
Solar flares are thunderous storms that take place in the outer layer of the sun producing a explosions of extremely powerful and hazardous radiation. A typical solar activity will increase and decrease in 11 year periods, with the next storm expected in 2012. However, due to several calculations from NASA scientists, the force of the 2012 solar storm is unlike any solar storm ever recorded in the history of mankind.
Since 2001, NASA scientists has been keeping track of a massive solar storm predicted to strike earth in 2012 with an intensity of 100 million hydrogen bombs going off at the same time. On August 2010, NASA warned that a massive solar storm is developing and is very likely to destroy earth's electrical grid. So what does that mean for the planet? No electrical power. GPS systems will fail, airports will be suspended, mass communication will be eliminated with a potential to wipe out orbiting satellites. There will be a complete blackout all over the world.
The History of Solar Flares
Similar solar flares in the past (1859 and 1921) triggered global chaos, destroying a large amount of telegraph wire connections. The solar flare prediction for 2012 is expected to be even more cataclysmic than before as we rely predominantly on technological devices in our everyday life.
The Impact
According to NASA, the solar storm predictions for 2012 will cause up to 2 trillion dollars in damage to earth's electrical transformers and technology system and losing electricity power for up to 10 years. Devastation to electrical power grids along with other communications technology will be devastating, scientists conclude, with results heading to a loss of government control of the scenario.
