Severe Solar Storm to Create Global Chaos and Complete Darkness
International Business Times ^ | 8-7-11 | staff reporter

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a scientific agency that monitors atmospheric and ocean conditions, has predicted a state of maximum solar activity that may strike Earth, causing total darkness this decade.

Forecasters and operators at the agency are keeping a close eye as the sun enters a phase of activity that may cause severe disruption of global power grids, airline communication, military satellites and even GPS applications on mobile phones and cars.

Besides this, US Federal Government studies revealed that this extreme solar activity and emissions may result in complete blackouts for years, in several areas of the US. Moreover, there may also be disruption of power supply for years together or even decades as geomagnetic currents attracted by the storm could debilitate the transformers.

As long as we have whale oil, we'll always have light.

There was a burst in the 1800’s that welded telegraphers keys together...a similar event now would be devastating, possibly as bad as an nuke-caused EMP.

Replace the words ‘solar storm’ and replace them with ‘Obama Administration’ and you have a real threat to the light of the world........

I wonder what Ed Dames has to say about this. I think he made some pretty dire predictions a few years back.

And if that weren't bad enough, the New Horizons craft snapped this picture of Niburu barreling toward earth today.

It depends who you want to believe. I have a fair amount of confidence that God knew what things would be like in 2011. So I’m not going to lose any sleep over this.

Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Granted, God didn’t mention electricity in that scripture, but I’ll still trust in Him.
