WARNING- Get inside by 4:00!!!

SalsaInABowl

I'm not sure if this affects all areas, but this was confirmed on the news.

At 4:00, the air/atmosphere whatever layer will be so thin, and the sun so hot that being outside will cause damage to your skin, and if you go outside you will be subject to radiation exposure.

Now I'm at Western timezone and it is 3:40 (I'm safe, don't worry) so you all should have plenty of time.

Again, I know this affects my area but I'm not sure about the others (I'm in California, so Cazual GET INSIDE!!!) so you may wanna do some research before getting hyped up.

You don't notice effects of radiation until way after you are exposed.

I don't know where you heard this from, but this is just a tip. Between 10am and 4pm EVERY DAY during the summer, it's recommended that you avoid the sun. No news stories that I found for this to support it being worse today.

How is this possible? I have never, ever heard of this happening. Please give me a link to a reputable source with an article about this. From what I've heard, the Earth's magnetosphere and the ozone layer are strong enough to repel most radiation from the sun (the kind that will give you radiation poisoning). The only possible way that something like this could happen would be for a coronal mass ejection to hit the Earth edge-on when the magetic poles are at their most vulnerable points, and that would have effects similar to an EMP, not a nuclear meltdown. Perhaps I don't understand correctly, so could you send me a link?

I'm just lol'ing at the hyperbole of this situation. We're obviously never exposed to radiation, pfft.

Edit: Now that I think of it, after being outside from school, as soon as I got home, I fell asleep with a headache and woke up the next morning. .-.
