Recent gamma ray observations of the Crab Nebula by the Fermi and AGILE telescopes have found strong flares that are not conspicuous at other frequencies or in the pulsar timing record. The timescales can be as short as hours and the peak powers a few percent of the average nebular power. These observations may be striking examples of a more general phenomenon involving surprisingly rapid variability of extended high energy sources as observed by Chandra, Swift and Hubble. Interpretations of these flares involving relativistic shocks and line currents will be described along with plans for observing future Crab flares.
