Video at the link.

There's no way to tell whether this is responsible for the unusual disruptions to Comcast TV recently. Some channels are severely pixelated with choppy sound, others are totally off. Some AM radio has been choppy too.

Watch that clip and press any button this site for the appropriate sound effect. I think fourth from left, third from the top is the most fitting.

Some amazing videos out there, I happen to like this one, really captured the moment.
You can play around with the clip, go back and take a look frame by frame, it's like the sun had a bout of projectile vomiting.
