Rare, severe geomagnetic storm hits Earth: Will it impact the grid?

(NEXSTAR) – Geomagnetic storm conditions observed over the weekend strengthened Monday morning, creating a “major disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field,” the Space Weather Prediction Center said.

The storm reached a G4 level in strength — the second-highest on the scale, classified as “severe” — just before 11 a.m. Eastern Time. The geomagnetic storm conditions may continue into the evening as solar flaring continues, forecasters said.

“Severe levels is pretty extraordinary,” Shawn Dahl, service coordinator at SWPC, said in a media briefing earlier this year. “It’s a very rare event to happen.”

At the G4 level, impacts on our infrastructure are possible. When coronal mass ejections (which are basically explosions of plasma and magnetic material from the sun) reach Earth, they carry with them their own magnetic field, explained Robert Steenburgh, a space scientist at SWPC.

“When you superimpose that over long conductors, things like pipelines, and railroad tracks and power lines, it can induce current — and that’s electrical current that’s not supposed to be there,” he said.

TRANSCRIPT BELOW THE IMAGE: First time I've seen this campaign video. It includes a powerful montage of his trajectory through history - including Mar A Lago raids, prosecution in the MSM, prosecution in the courts etc. With lightening and thunder at 55 seconds in the video, he says, "I never thought that anything like this could happen in America" as he's shown walking through a downpour wearing a red MAGA hat.

President Donald J. Trump: I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down.

I never thought that anything like this could happen in America.

The only crime that I have committed has been to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.

The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom.

They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you.

They're not coming after me; they're coming after you, and I just happen to be standing in their way and I will never be moving.

On November 5, 2024, justice will be done.

We will take back our country, and we will Make America Great Again.

America will always rise to every challenge, and overcome every danger.

When I'm re-elected, I will totally obliterate the Deep State.

As long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our God, then We.Will.Not.Fail.
