Jac/Conclue I have a question.

Jac you said "The plasma increase will no-doubt alter the magnetic field; not only magnitude by spatially as well. Thus, creating a short-term imbalance in different parts of the field. That may create a type of force impulse when it perturbs. "
Conclue you said "That's what I was thinking, some type of force between that effects our own magnetic field. This has always been something I've wondered about. I think this is one of those new areas that haven't been fully explored just yet. The outermost layers of the atmosphere of the Earth (at more than 100 miles above the surface) expand a little bit when the Sun is more active. Artificial satellites in low orbits around the Earth then experience more atmospheric drag. This extra drag slows down the satellite and changes its orbit, which may cause the operators of the satellite to lose track of it. In some cases the extra drag may cause a satellite to fall back to the Earth sooner than expected. This happened, for instance, to the Skylab satellite in 1979. However, most active satellites have propulsion systems that allow them to move back to the desired orbit."
This may be considered a stupid question but
My question is: Could these effects have an affect a hurricane in any way at all?
