FLORIDA – There was an eruption of a solar tsunami on July 21, 2022, which resulted in Sun storm A Full-Halo that throws a cloud of plasma as well as particles sun others in the path of the earth. Whereas usually, Coronal mass ejection (CME), is not directed to Earth so it is safe for people around it.
Coronal mass ejection (CME) is a specific type of solar storm that usually develops in the sun’s most active regions, where the magnetic field is particularly strong. The sun spews out enormous clumps of plasma when its twisted or curved magnetic field lines suddenly reconfigure themselves.
Quoted by SINDOnews from the natureworldnews page, Saturday (23/7/2022), a large and fast CME can travel at speeds of up to 4.5 million miles per hour. The material ejected from the sun in a CME can consist of billions of tons of particles in the sun’s atmosphere as well as carrying an embedded magnetic field.
They appear to flare around the sun, like halos in the coronagraph image, from which the storm is called a Full-Halo.
Well, the solar tsunami explosion on July 21, 2022, produced a Full-Halo CMS which is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. According to NOAA, the densest part of the CME storm cloud is expected to arrive on Earth on July 23, 2022 at around 4 am.
Data from NOAA indicate that the resulting geomagnetic storm in the Earth’s magnetosphere is most likely class G1 to class G2 or minor to moderate. While there is still a chance, the storm could escalate to a category G3, which is a strong storm.

The strength of solar storms ranges from G1 to G5, with G5 being the strongest. Stronger storms are much rarer than G1 hurricanes, which are fairly common. Mike Hapgood, Principal Consultant for Space Weather at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, said that G1 hurricane did not cause any major problems.
Hurricane G5 can cause significant damage. However, the last G5 was held in October 2003. CMEs can cause fluctuations in the power grid, disrupted satellite operations, and changes in the behavior of migrating animals as they collide with Earth’s atmosphere and disrupt the magnetic field.
