Solar storm speeding toward Earth could affect radio, GPS signals

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued G1-Minor and G2-Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watches that will run from Feb. 16-18 due to the continuing effects of the Coronal Mass Ejections (CME).

According to the SWPC, the geomagnetic storm may affect satellite operations and could even lead to weak power-grid fluctuations. In addition, migratory animals could be affected, and the Northern Lights may be visible farther south than usual, like in northern Michigan and Maine.

A second CME was also observed on the sun on Wednesday, and officials said the effects could begin to impact Earth starting late Friday morning or Friday afternoon.

Thanks for the link. It seems to have subsided now, for the most part…

Alarmist journalism has reached its well-by-date. Real disasters and crimes happen every day that these vermin refuse to cover.

Here is a real disaster - 275 Americas die every day from drug overdoses under the Pedo Biden Regime.

The 1st half of this is on the incoming CME.

I’d kinda like it to destroy all cellular phones as well as the towers. In reality, nobody will notice anything except the gang hanging around scientific instrumentation that watches for such events.

This “do it yourself” stuff was easier at age 40, than it is at age 60+

Having replaced a couple water heaters myself, I know exactly what you mean.
Except the ones I replaced were easily accessible.
