This solar activity will continue to increase in frequency and intensity over the next 12 months. Suspicious Observers channel is the world's expert on this and space weather news. We've known about this for 4 days- mainstream media doesn't want people to know the real potential for grid collapse and cause panic shopping. Now you know. Enjoy the Aurora again tonight. You're about 10 years behind in geophysics, astrophysics and space weather- better get caught up.
