It's doing that leg shake thing where it's about to pop, and it's pointed right at Earth's beautiful curves. That's what they call "geoeffective." It's not directly deadly, but it would cause electronic disruption. A global EMP. We all know what an EMP is by now, right? How do we know when the coast is clear? If after about 3 days we don't experience a global EMP, we're good. So... pretty fun Labor Day weekend, right?

Telegraph operators were able to send messages for several hours even with the power sources disconnected, and some received electrical shocks from their equipment. If this storm had occurred in modern times with our more sensitive equipment, it probably would have caused massive outages and severe damage to transformers, generators, and other parts of the power grid. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:967746494] in Did you he...

captpackrat 09/03/22 9:43:09 AM #23:	According to the Space Weather Prediction Center (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/), we have the possibility of reaching G2 conditions (Kp = 6) tomorrow. G2 is a moderate geomagnetic storm, with the following possible effects: Power systems: High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms, long-duration storms may cause transformer damage. Spacecraft operations: Corrective actions to orientation may be required by ground control; possible changes in drag affect orbit predictions. Other systems: HF radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes, and aurora has been seen as low as New York and Idaho (typically 55 geomagnetic lat.). G2 events occur an average of 600 times in each 11 year solar cycle. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/0/1/AAQwHjAADohR.jpg --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:967763369] in Did you he...
