NASA has been on a good run lately, and their last prediction was quite accurate. The intensity of the auroras was indeed amazing. The latest predictions that indicate this cycle could be a match (or exceed) the 1958 storm would seem to indicate that preparations for possible disruptions should be undertaken. The March 1989 storm sure did catch Quebec Hydro off guard!laugh

As for myself, I have my lawn hair ready for hopefully an amazing display of Northern Lights!

The sun goes through cycles of increased solar activity, flares and what have you. Its a natural process. The irony to me is, we have only become aware and have the ability to track it in the last generation or so with the advent of agencies like Nasa etc. Former generations were completely unaware of these things.

It seems to me, given the very loooong history of planet earth, if we were going to be wiped out by something like solar flares given the odds, this would have happened long ago. Chances are, we wouldnt even have known what hit us. wine

I think both of you are right. It probably won't be a natural disaster, but who knows.

The alert is about a persistant blackout, a technical temporary collapse.

It's interesting a friend of mine did research on the influenza pandemic of 1918 in relationship to solar flairs - He found a co-relationship.

I am more concerned with the polar caps melting - living at sea level here than a storm.
