Solar flare events take 8 mins to get to earth to affect the magnetosphere and add radiation to the atmosphere. So we should already be cooked or the grid blown up yet? /sarc. Chicken littles looking for advertising and scare jumps

Shades of 1659 when the telegraph lines melted. Imagine what that would do now.

Solar flare events take 8 mins to get to earth to affect the magnetosphere and add radiation to the atmosphere. The particles which do the most damage can take hours to a week to reach Earth.
