G4 Solar Storm coming.

[Brovane]

Well this ought to be fun.

Why tonight’s massive solar storm could disrupt communications and GPS systems

On Thursday, the US government issued its first severe geomagnetic storm watch in nearly 20 years, advising the public of “at least five earth-directed coronal mass ejections” as well as sunspots covering an area 16 times wider than the earth itself. A severe geomagnetic storm, or G4, is the second-highest grade in the US government’s classification system.

Radiation from this activity will begin to hit Earth’s magnetic field on Friday and last through the weekend, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

You're going to need a ticket to the ISS if you want the comic book experience.

Nope. It'll be blamed on the covid vaccines.

Any idea where I'd book that? A shot at super powers is something a fellow shouldn't miss.

Here is The New York Times' article on this. The link below should get anyone beyond the paywall for 14 days, i.e. until May 24, 2024:

This forum would be sooooo pumped if you simply got a clue, Mr. Greenjeans.

A chance of northern lights visible here (New England) tonight after midnight is predicted.

That was my first thought reading the thread title.

First thing that came to my mind but I was withholding my commentary as I was feeling nice today. The superpower of being spectacularly ignorant is definitely something. He already got his super power.

As far south as Alabama and Northern California. I'm confused because that doesn't really match up. Northern Alabama seems to match up to Southern California. What am I missing?
