ok Kart... I’ve read the posts and the blogs. I have some stuff but not alot. My wife thinks I’m crazy, kids think I’m crazy, fellow workers think I’m crazy. I do believe S will “HTF”. I love the perspective from the bosnian folks.I prolly cold make it 3 weeks but that would be it. I know you have posted a bunch about preparedness but please do so again. How do you feel about about the folks who sell the readiness bags? also am having a hard time finding water purification kits cheap.

Actually a good topic of discussion - outside of a faraday cage what other reduction techniques are available to reduce if not eliminate the impact? I mean we have a couple of days to try to take some steps.

spaceweather says the cme is going at 2.2 million mph so starting a couple of hours back it should be here in about 45 hours, is that close?

Well, it stands to reason that a warmer earth would
naturally attract solar flares and cause Coronal mass
ejections leading to solar cooling...

Stop Solar Cooling Now!

I always hated that song. Just never liked it.

Wasn’t a big Soundgarden fan. Only liked maybe two or three of their songs.
