Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale. How did it wipe out telegraph wires?
I can believe that it disrupted telegraph communication, at least for a while. But, I'm having a hard time believing that it "wiped out" the actual wires.

Never mind the fact that all of those history books are full of the details of the 1921 event!?So, did anyone predict the event. Stuff happens that we cannot predict, FACT. But these goobers say then can predict it, and then carp a year or two on the date. This is about funding "further research". Bogus science. (Remember Globul Warming?).

I can grow man parts too but that does not mean it is going to happen. I’ll take my chances and will wait and see what 2012 has in store for me.

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class.
She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer.
She read, “...and Chicken Little went up to the farmer ans said, The Sky is Falling!”
The teacher then asked the class, “And what do you think that farmer said?”
One little girl raised her hand and said, “I think he said: Holy S**t! a talking chicken!”

they cannot predict a coronal mass ejection and if they could they cannot predict the direction it travels in...there is a fairly narrow window needed to strike earth with full force....
if a huge one like the one in the 1850s hit we could be seriously screwed...but they cannot predict it to a year like that....

It’s still talked about today by telegraph operators.
