Probably lots of space aliens 60 light years away listening to Hancock's Half Hour.

yep, and they have a green guy with seven tentacles, with one sucker on the big red button that fires the inter-galactic Bazoomatron. As soon as he detects big brother or twitter, his job is to press the button

De-doomed: Keep Calm: The Truth About The Huge Solar Flare That Just Missed Earth - Forbes

"What seems to be going on here is that NASA put out a press release on Wednesday rehashing the details of the 2012 flare and the research that’s been dripping out over the past year. It’s actually a great primer on space weather and the potential damage that can be done by huge coronal mass ejections, including the last time the planet was actually in the firing line. That happened over 150 years ago. By the way, that event — known as the Carrington event — did not vaporize any people, animals or planets, but it did do damage to telegraph lines and create some epic northern lights as far south as Tahiti."
