'Severe geomagnetic storm watch' - the first in nearly 20 years - issued with NOAA warning the world's power grids, communication networks and satellite operations could be impacted
Daily Mail ^ | 5/10/2024 | Alex Hammer

'NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)- a division of the National Weather Service - is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8,' the emergency alert read.

'Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday.

'Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend,' it went on, before describing the abnormal activity that tipped space specialists off.

'A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday at 5:00 am ET,' it read.

'At least five flares were associated with CMEs that appear to be Earth-directed. SWPC forecasters will monitor NOAA and NASA's space assets for the onset of a geomagnetic storm.'

These warnings are coming rather frequently.

They come from the feds. Are we being set up the bomb?

This is something you can sort of see for yourself.

No need to believe or not the feds.

If the sky where you are is mostly or all clear, look to the north from midnight to 4 AM or later starting midnight Friday night, maybe Saturday and Sunday nights too.

The further north in the USA you are the better, but the northern lights, which are one of the results of solar storms should be interesting.

The more powerful the storm(s) are the further south they are seen.

If we are not lucky, some more things caused by the storms will be some or all of the power grids down, communications poor or gone, etc.

These storms are so big, you can see them if you have eclipse glasses or #14 welding helmet glass.

Or you can make a viewer with a pin hole in a piece of cardboard, focusing on a white piece of paper.

The Carrington Event’s (1850s) sunspot group was favorably compared in size to this week’s sunspot group. See the presentation in the following:

Yeah, right. I thought they were too busy with their fully automatic weapons training t do anything more than regurgitate clips mate change propaganda.
Sounds like they are running cover for some insidious government experiment.
