A solar storm has just impacted Earth that's been one of the strongest in the last 20 years, with an immediate G4 geomagnetic storm starting whilst a S4 radiation was already blasting the Earth with high-energy solar particles. With bulk solar wind velocity greater than 1000 km/s and magnetic field values currently creater than 60 nT, this is a near-Carrington level impact and certainly a historic solar storm. Geophysicist Stefan Burns forecasting this possibility more than a year in advance based on the latest space science and more, and now he reports for you LIVE on the current historic space weather.

Near-Carrington is OK

if you’re worried put your cellphone put it in the microwave. Just make sure NOT to press ‘start’...

Real Carrington a disaster...

It wiped out our computers and destroyed the internet and cell phones, so this is what it feels like to live in the Road warrior world that we all feared would happen.
