“”can be hitting the Earth anytime soon””

“”high chance of an M-level solar flare eruption””

“”mild chance of an X-level solar flare eruption””

Just like the weather ‘forecasters’ here on Earth. I often mention to family, friends and co-workers, what if, in your job, you told your supervisors there was a chance, maybe, perhaps, Etc. How long would you remain employed? Hmmmm?

This is a clear case of white supremacy and colonial victimization.

Insurrection to follow.

Got the alert. A X 1.1 class and uncertain if it pulled any plasma off the sun.

If you think lockdowns were bad, just wait until the internet is out for an extended time.

Back stuff up. This says that an unconnected memory stick should be OK in the event of an EMP.

I would still find a find a popcorn tin put some padding inside. Put your portable memory devices in it. Put the top on when not using them.

Where did I leave that cloak of invisibility? Of course now that I need it, it is invisible.

“Might as well be walking on the Sun...”

Smash Mouth! One of a handful of bands my boys and I could BOTH listen to and enjoy. ;)

“So don’t delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you’re still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer’s shunned you might as well be walkin’ on the Sun...”

Were they Seers? LOL! ;)

I’ve heard old microwaves will do, too.

Apparently whatever keeps the microwaves from leaking out, keeps stuff from getting in.

If the internet is down are you going to send me a letter?
If yes, then I’ll probably know already and if not, how will you let me know?

Still put me on on your list, please. I’ve got buried cables throughout my neighborhood. Nothing ever goes down around here.

If the SHTF you can call or mail me and I’ll ping your list but they won’t be on the net?

Anyway I can help, let me know. Forget about carrier pigeons - we’ve got Ospreys here and no pigeons.

Who knows if something like this will happen or when. So I just use an empty popcorn tin as everyday storage.

At some point I will look for a metal fishing tackle box with dividers for memory sticks.

If you do have advance warning of a Carrington event put your car in the garage and unplug your computers.

In the event of a Carrington event Governments will have to:
....."issue recommendations for residents at home on how to safely cope: unplugging all of your appliances and electronics, disconnecting certain wires and systems, etc."

Like I would trust them to give me good advice?

Heck. I’d expect them to be the ones that cause it first if that were possible.
