NOAA holds briefing about upcoming severe solar storm

Officials from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) held a media briefing on Friday to discuss the upcoming severe solar storm, which is forecast to arrive on Friday night.
NOAA has issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch, the first one since 2005, after a series of moderate to strong solar flares. A severe solar storm can disrupt communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

[@thinkandrepent3175]

Why it took NOAA until the day of the event to comment is ridiculous. Thank God for the vigilant people on KZbin who warned us all weeks ago.

There is a spot between south America and Africa. Very weak. The things floating around up there like satellites could be there and loose malfunctions. The poles have been slowly moving as well.

Above a certain level, our magnetosphere can be overwhelmed by incoming solar radiation & plasma. It can also affect people w/heart &/or nervous system weaknesses. Strong enough incoming radiation can affect all life on earth. Not to forget the solar energy also enters our magnetosphere through the earth's poles (enhanced aurora borealis's) & is transferred into the plasma within the core of our planet whupping up telluric waves which in turn can precipitate earthquakes (seismic) & volcanic activity AND intensity!

We ain’t been hit this way before in history,it’s a big deal for science and scientists,our shields are down,we need Scotty.

[@Enginejen]

@@jeffdunnell6693Lol literally, our shields are down. The magnetosphere is super weak right now.

[@Paul1958R]

They just want to waste the taxpayers money.

[@perrymac3714]

My ears ring, every time a storm is inbound and at times it's like a gravity increase. Ears have been ringing since 10am and at noon it was almost madening

[@RebellionBloodshed]

HAPPENING!

[@ellkir1521]

If our power grid went down I would guess we would be in total chaos in the cities within 7 days. Most people are not prepared in the slightest to be without power, gas, or communications.

[@polok890]

Public radio mentioned northern lights for 20 seconds, then went back to clowning around. They knew what was going on

[@zummo61]

These guys seem nervous.

[@ctyhallcoolio]

They should be

[@daughteroftheking391]

What does all of this equate to?

[@carlalakins]

Google “The Carrington Event” Read about it. Then try to imagine THAT happening in today’s high tech world. Repercussions are unimaginable. ​@@daughteroftheking391

[@carlalakins]

And rightly so.

[@forsakenjones4695]

no he doesnt.

[@GregoryBangsSr]

will this alter any air transport on Friday or Saturday?

[@JJbullfrog1978]

Just in a few hours, thamks

[@Wireman134]

Nope, it started 3 hours ago

[@jfscnl]

How much has the Earth's magnetic field weakened since the Carrington event happened?

[@WonderfulPretzel-gc8xd]

This isn't Carrington event level

[@jeffdunnell6693]

Approximately 30%

[@jfscnl]

@@WonderfulPretzel-gc8xd The Carrington event was a double CME strike but maybe X15 in strength, but with a much stronger magnetic shield protecting 0ur ancestors. This event may consist of multiple strikes that beat down the shield before it can recover. The Earth's magnetosphere is undergoing a polarity switch thus lowering its strength. Also, everything now relies on a much higher level of technology.

[@IndyBiscuits]

@@WonderfulPretzel-gc8xdnobody can say this for sure. We aren’t god.

[@jamescendrowski4844]

Sun gonna sun.

[@dianariverjackson5123]

Sweden here We had problems with lights going on/off and blinking like crazy around 21-22 in the evening

[@spex357]

I was watching the Sunspots as the Sun went down tonight, through my Nikon P1000 and a solar filter.

[@katharinebayer285]

6 flares/CMEs so far.

[@Skyywatcher88]

The first CME has arrived sparking a G4

[@FRCOTI]

I packed my iPad phone,laptop, ect in my faraday bags, unplugged my car battery, unplugged other items in the house. I have inverted generator with tanks of propane and gas, propane heater, stove. Lights, walkie talkies.noaa weather radio. Food and dog food. Water. I’m set for the weekend. I get my information from others on KZbin. You were way too late.

[@aaronsterlind6334]

There you go, "as early as this evening", and yet, the first one already around noon.

[@TiredOldMann]

They blamed stopping the launch on a faulty valve .

[@sloppyoppie]

Something launched last night at 8:45.
