All expected to hit the Earth any time now and by the end of the Weekend.

[Leep]

What a opportunity!

[Red Badger]

[Mathews]

Yep... this could be it. The big one. And they will only hit the continental US. I wonder where our gov’t, I mean the flares, will hit first. ?S?

Do I put tarps over my panels ?

[George from New England]

Is there any potential for pv panel damage(s) at night ? Or inverter damage ? Do I kill the breakers for the dc side (panel side) at night ?

Look up at the sky tonight to see the effect of these storms!

[Sequoyah101]

In all my nearly 70 years I have been impacted directly by this many solar storms. -—

And of course, it’s forecast to be overcast, which destroys any chance of seeing an aurora.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Yes, after midnight! People in deep south Louisiana are expecting to see it.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Supposed to be as big as the Carrington Event from 1859.

"Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch

For the first time in nearly 20 years, a Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm watch has been issued by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center."

From "Solarham.com":

"Visible aurora will be likely for locations at middle latitudes should a strong (G3) to severe (G4) storm be observed as forecast.

Sky watchers across Scandinavia, Northern Europe, UK, Canada, northern tier USA and Alaska should all be alert.

Should a period of severe (G4) storming take place, locations as far south as Texas and California could see aurora on the horizon once dark outside."

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission

Begin Time: 2024 May 09 0902 UTC

Estimated Velocity: 1004 km/s

"Other impacts during a severe geomagnetic storm include degraded HF radio propagation, some issues with power systems especially at high latitudes and satellite navigation issues."

Not to mention the dozen or so asteroids that will come “dangerously close” to earth in the next few days. Some as “close” as 3 times the lunar distance. One is as big as Fani Willis’s mouth.
