Hi Donna,

An <http://www.spaceweather.com/INTENSE%20SUN:%20S>S2-Class radiation storm 
is underway with
X-class<http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html>flares,
including
one X17 monster <http://www.spaceweather.com/solarflares/topflares.html>. 
NOAA forecasters say there's a 50% chance of more X-flares during the next 
24 hours, possibly causing radio blackouts and more radiation storms. 

This storm is BIG. You can expect radio blackouts for days to come. 
Heidelberg radios don't go bad ;)
