I don't know, but watching the news lately it seems as if something unusual is occurring weatherwise. I recall some scientist saying a little while back that our solar system is entering a part of the galaxy that has very potent energy recordings coming in, and that he thought this would affect earth and even more so our sun which in turn could cause an affect on earth. Anyone here up on weather study? He wasn't getting much attention from other scientists, but could he have been right?
