tired&retired (Post #12) :” They are going to get worse.
(From the article):We are entering a perfect storm that is far worse than previous solar cycles. “
”An uncommonly powerful solar storm may occur in outer space Friday, officials have warned
- the first in nearly 20 years if it comes to fruition. “
”The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued the Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch late Thursday
- which itself was the first such alert aired since January 2005, when the earth was hit with the highest dose of radiation it had seen in a half-century. “
This time around, the 'unusual event' could disrupt electronic devices like GPS and parts of power grids, the American agency said
- while citing how it may also drape a huge portion of the country in a spectacular circle of light.”
Please note that metmom, in post #2, includes a hot link taking you directly to NOAA,(Space Weather Prediction Center) for further information.
Note that this warning from NOAA is uncommon, and hasn't been issued in the last 20 years - be aware !
