Long as it isn’t like the solar storm of 1859 when it melted to telegraph wires.

Is this what the late, great Art Bell called “the kill shot?”

Gosh I miss him. Mel’s Hole, UFOs, conspiracy theories, etc.

I would listen to him in the middle of the night while nursing my newborn son.

I think he’s more conservative than he admits. When he was a toddler, he listened to Rush Limbaugh every afternoon!

And I, like so many of us, miss Rush. I should tune in to Sexton and the other guy. I’m sure they are good. But it is still kind of painful.

I once saw the Northern Lights in northern Quebec. Incredibly beautiful.

God is indeed the Master. The incredible beauty He has given us is breathtaking.

It might disrupt my phone,

but will have zero effect on my pistol.

So, all good no worries.

Per the weatherman this AM it Will hit before dawn and end that evening. Here is NOAAs post;

All; See post 26 with NOAA info on the effects of this CME; Most of the effect will be north of 50 degrees n latitude and per NOAA not major.

Jonrick46, depending on where you live and the weather aurora are possible, but it would have to be early evening I think.

The site has a graphic showing where the aurora might be and additional information.

I don't think it will be a problem, but its never a bad time to backup your computer and put the backup drive in a metal drawer.
