Wonder if Sunspots cause tornados?

Solar activity is suddenly increasing.  The biggest sunspots of the year are 
crossing the solar disk; one group is longer than 10 Earth diameters and 
poses a threat for solar flares.  Meanwhile, astronomers are monitoring a 
large and delightfully complex prominence dancing long the sun's limb. 
Whether all this will translate into magnetic storms and auroras remains to 
be seen. Please visit http://spaceweather.com for pictures and updates.
