Step right up, folks. I’ve got Faraday Cages. Lots of ‘em in plenty of different sizes. 10% cheaper than my prices were in the run-up to 12/21/2012. It’s my Mayan discount. Only while supplies last. Protect your sensitive electronic items. Quality Faraday Cages made only from the best materials.
Didn't that come 20 years before the UFO stole the Judge's windmill? Or about the same time the guy found the stone giant?
*Women and minorities hardest hit.
I’m guessing next weekend and after the lights come back on all of Pennsylvania’s voting machine records will show Hillary won.
Oh, great. Give my internet company another reason to disrupt service and not adjust the bill.
I am so screwed.
Laugh now and cry later seems to be how people take the solar flare thing. EMP coming from iran or even russia might be greater chance. Economic collapse is next. Communism was the #1 concern until Trump. Trump’s admin being sabotaged by the globalists is #1 now.
I bought a monochrome laser printer several years ago and printed about 2,000 pages of prepper info.
We just got on the grid after being off grid for 5 years. People in this area have only had grid for a couple of generations. No fuel for the chainsaws would be a killer. Cattle raising area so everyone would have beef for a while. I try to keep a lot of heirloom seeds on hand. We’d have to dig some root cellars real quick. I buy seed potatoes every year to grow and always buy more potatoes than we need during the rest of the year as I haven’t been trying to over winter due to the lack of root cellar.
My neighbor across the road (and down a big hill) has a spring that was mostly set up to sell bottled spring water. Not sure how many gpm but it creates a stream 3 foot wide by 1 foot deep running year round. I’ve got a 275 tank, four 55 gal drums and 50 or so 1 gallon jugs. Enough to share with the neighbors.
My food stores are a bit low so I need to work on those. We’ve got a pressure canner but I need to make a rocket stove to fit it and practice with it. I’ve got 100 lbs each of salt and sugar for curing.
If the hungry city hordes don’t come and kill us, we’ll make it. We’re 100 miles from a major city.
Credible because the worst storms occur during solar minimums due to low solar plasma circulation. The current minimum is showing abnormally low solar plasma circulation. It bottoms out in 2020 but sunspots should disappear by mid-2019.
Otoh, if a ‘huge solar storm’ does occur I am not really worried at all. A great many people conflate the effects of a solar flare with a gamma ray burst. Two vastly different events. Fortunately, most modern utility equipment and expensive consumer devices use sold state circuit protection. IF, and it’s a big IF, they pop they will reset within seconds. People could lose power during peak storm activity due to repeated circuit breaker resets but I doubt it.
All a prepper really needs is a metal-shielded and grounded housing used with an outside generator or an inside generator with grounding. My generator is in my garage and wired into the house circuits. I can isolate the out door circuits which will overload during the storm. My internet is fiber to the house and the junction boxes are metal. I will have internet. There is not enough exposed cable to build up a significant charge. Same thing for my residential power. Metal casings and insulated wire. They won’t pick up a charge.
Lastly, if any one still has doubts -US power lines are hit hundreds of times a day by lightening which carries several orders of magnitude more voltage than charged particles and the lines rarely fail. If they do its usually a nearby circuit breaker which trips, then resets after a few seconds.
Always good to prepare but it would be foolish to spend more than the cost of a power generator -which is prudent to have in all types of situations.
Just watch. Within weeks or months of these kinds of stories appearing, there will appear books with titles of, “How to Become Wealthy Off of ...[insert name of disaster here]”
Will the massive solar storm affect bacon? If bacon is ok, I’m ok.

Could?
Let’s us know when it does. All these Chicken Little stories are born of the snowflake generation looking for attention and wanting to be seen as the “only person who knew”.
I survived the Carrington Event in 1859. Pretty sure I’ll be ok for the next one too...
Thanks for the ping...This is the kind of grid down problem/s that I have been talking about...And then within 1 year 90% of the US population will be DEAD!
The time to get ready is NOW not after we get hit!!
I have a lot of my books on hard copy, & have a back up computer in storage, plus a bunch of other items that are CLASSIFIED OPSEC!
Love the headline: “Exected by 2020.”
Then you read that there’s a one-in-eight chance.
Modern journalism.
Those of us that were born before the tech boom will be ok. The rest will learn a life lesson. If they survive.
Global warming is causing this.
so this is the angle they will spin to hide govt sanctioned emp blasts over america and europe.
.
What Bullshit!!!!!!!!
The sun has shut down.
It hasn’t done anything measurable for over ten years, and there is no reason to believe that it ever will again.
We have entered the Sabbath millennium; everything is now in rest mode.
