A rare severe geomagnetic storm watch has been issued. Here's what to know.

A severe G4 geomagnetic storm heading toward Earth has officials "really buckling down" as they warn of a "big shock arrival" that could impact infrastructure and expand the visibility of the northern lights.

I actually think it's cool they're buying independent reporter's content, even if it originated as a social post

[@robertjenkins6132]

To be fair it's better than the traditional pompous talking heads interview format, where they either pad it to 10 minutes with cringe banter or, alternatively, abruptly cut it when it was getting good because they had to go to commercial in the TV version. Only bad thing is that this is a vertical video converted to horizontal video. I mean, make up your mind, horizontal or vertical...

[@trishaaguayo367]

Yes. I've discovered Hollywood like to reveal A LOT of their plots and "secrets" within movies (in plain sight) including 'Knowing'.... However God's infallible Word says this present earth will be destroyed by fire (and we are not far away from the end). So just as sure as He sent a worldwide flood where only eight people were saved including Noah (read Genesis 6-8), 2 Peter 3 says, "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (v. 7) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (v.10).

[@nunyabiznez666]

Woohooo!!! Good to know! Seeing the aurora is SSSOOOOOO cool!!!! ❤ I've only seen it once in like 2005 living in NY. I didn't know it was happening, but I tend to always look up at night and that night it was visible!!!! It was like an ocean of blue and green swirling in the sky ❤ Aaahhhh it was amazing!!! 🥹 I've been in Denver the past 12 years now, so we need a G4 to see it down this far 😢 Fingers crossed for this time l!!!!!!!! 🤞

[@DoneBrokeDatBack]

I don't doubt it. Even things we can explain with readily available data and science are twisted to amorphous conspiratorial ideas, man. The Tornado Outbreak of late April 2024 was an extremely intense event, but still explainable with science and data. Yet so many people want to believe the US Government (that can't even pay it's debts or pass laws to do so) is somehow able to manipulate the weather with HAARP to further cause further financial troubles for itself. People are stupid.
