M Class Flares, Earth and Comet 73p ??

Here's a snipit...
--
A low intensity M-Class flare fired off earlier today from sunspot 875. This comes as no surprise as it was expected after viewing the farside of the Sun. Regions 875 and 876 have just come across the eastern limb, and I believe one or two more may follow.

Wonder if there will be any interaction with the comets fragments?

Time will tell, as a possible bigger burst from the Sun will happen again in a couple of weeks, just in time for the closest pass by of Earth. As well, Geomagnetic Storms may interact and cause Climate flux... But we need hard data to show any realization of these ideas.

Peace and Love.
