I wonder who the left would have blamed this on?
A coronal hole has opened on our side and the solar wind is headed for earth. Auroras should be popping by the weekend.
I visited an Amish store earlier this week.
They had a stand mixer that ran on a 20 volt Dewalt battery.
All the light in the place were gas lights.
The ceiling fans fan on pneumatic motors and made a little psst sound as they released the ait each cycle.
Even the Dewalt compound miter saws had air motors replacing the electric motors.
Their heating system used pneumatic motors to run the hot water circulator pumps.
A windmill with a backup diesel engine ran the compressor to fill a 1,000 gallon propane tank converted to an air tank.
I also visited an Amish butcher shop. All the equipment, meat grinders, slicers, saws, were modified so the electric motors were replaced by pnumatic motors. Even the fans to control the smoke and fire box in the smokehouse was air driven.
Only the compressors to run the walk in freezer and cooler were run by a diesel engine.
The farmers still use horses rather than tractors. There was no electricity, phone, or internet to the property. Several had phone sheds at the end of their driveway, with a phone that was shared by multiple families.
Despite the fact that something like the Carrington event is inevitable, governments around the world have done, virtually nothing to protect civilization against its effects. It’s more important for them to impose a fascist world dictatorship than to save civilization.
Good thing it happened at night......................😜
