Trains will be disrupted, power will go out, satellite signals will go wonky - that’s what we have to look forward to when the sun next has a melt down, and we’re unlikely to get more than 12 hours warning.
In a new government document, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills has laid out its Space Weather Preparedness Strategy, outlining the risks of unsettled space weather as well as what it plans to do about them.

I just can't watch them anymore. They name every snowflake as a, "winter storm" and then have endless hours of tow truck shows. I'm glad dish has weather nation tv.
Vogon Poetry was only the third worst. Now, fourth.
We won't even have that much time if/when a democrat president decides to hit us with a high altitude EMP nuke.
Has someone alerted Bruce Willis yet?
We must be stopped. Taxes isn't enough.
The way the Weather Channel freaks out over a four-inch snowfall, I can scarcely imagine.
Or worse the reporting this summer “That it’s the hottest driest summer in history!!”
Oh the Hugh-Manatee of it!
Get out your anti-Sun Storm umbrella!
Or a nuke or a terrorist attack or another foot in mouth by (fill in the blank political leader) or a potty dash after a Taco Bell burrito or a Chicago drive by shooting or...
1859, hmmm. Way before my time!
However, I was radio-operator from 1947 to 1981 in the Merchant Marine and on weather stations in Greenland one time 400 miles from the North Pole!!
The majority of radio communications was on short waves. We were constantly advised of Sun-Spots interfering on our effectiveness or ineffectiveness on successful radio contacts, good or impossible some times depending on our positions and clock time. Bottom line NOTHING we would be special upset by as being part of our jobs!!!
Still remember Y2K we were told ships could not sail or aircrafts fly, ROTLMSO!!!
Your refusal to discuss the Carrington event clearly shows don’t wish to discuss the subject at hand. The fact that you was a radio operator has nothing to do with the subject of super solar flares like the Carrington event. XClearly you don’t even know what the Carrington event was.
ROFL! thanks!
From what I’ve read, there are 2 lines of thought on Solar Flares/EMP:
The damage done results from induced voltage caused by a strong magnetic field.
The grid with all the transmission lines presents a huge surface area and will result in a catastrophic induced voltage that will destroy the grid components and anything attached to them.
Vehicles have small electronic parts. The smaller area may not be enough to induce a damaging voltage. Keep in mind that some chips are so sensitive that even static electricity can damage them so I may be wrong on this assumption.
I’m reading a series of books by A. American that involve the US gov’t using a solar flare as cover to launch a false flag EMP strike and declare martial law. It’s worth a read.
In this event, the DHS and FEMA will use food as a weapon and it will work.
Just my two cents.
Never said I knew, but I knew a lot about solar spot and it’s interference on our short wave communication. Have a nice day, all KNOWING dude!!!
Buzz of “Professor”~!!
But we aren’t talking about sunspots or radio interference are we, the thread was about Super Sun Flares so how exactly does your post relate? Only a All knowing Dude would comment on something that he clearly knows nothing about wouldn’t you agree?
I must be right over the target because of the flack I am getting.
A supermoon is the effect of the lunar orbit carrying the moon into unusually close proximity to the Earth.
What is fascinating is that another "supermoon" will occur next month, on September 28th. This second supermoon, because its proximity will be closer to the Earth than the one we observe tonight, will appear even larger and more brilliant.
People interested in divining the "signs of the times" might find this article, "Blue Moon ahead of rare Blood tetrad means world WILL end in September, warn Christians" of interest.
