An alert was published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which warned the geomagnetic storm could cause power grid fluctuations with voltage alarms at higher latitudes, where the Earth is more exposed.

Astronomers do not expect the flare to cause major disruption as per the Carrington Event, believed to be the largest solar storm ever recorded, which hit Earth in 1859.

The Carrington Event left an aurora visible across the sky, even in latitudes much closer to the equator, and was described in contemporary reports as even brighter than the light of a full moon.

It caused the failure of telegraph systems all across Europe and North America, and a similar storm today could cause trillions of dollars in damage globally.

Funny, I came across this yesterday on the tube after searching "solar". Not a super strong flare.

If it causes pain, despair, and a major lifestyle change to the people who keep pushing for permanent virus rules and mandates, good. I’ll eat canned soup & jerky. Lol’ing they whole time.
