Severe geomagnetic storm hits Earth, bringing fears of interrupting communications

An "extreme" G5 geomagnetic storm reached Earth on Friday, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said, after issuing a watch earlier in the day warning of the potential for a severe impact. Lauren Pozen reports.

[@InimitaPaul]

I have my battery bank sitting in a home made faraday cage and I’m monitoring the CME reports as they come in, I disconnect the panels and seal the faraday cage before they hit to save the battery but there’s no saving the panels if the voltage increases too much. If they blow I’ll buy flexible panels next time so I can easily remove them and quickly slide them into another home made faraday cage. This could be a very expensive weekend for us solar enthusiasts.

[@DG-nk7jo]

Well, hate to burst your bubble but, if the storm were extreme it would likely destroy your solar panels.

Droughts are tied to the 22 year sunspot cycle. The cycle changed a year ago and the increase in sunspot activity is responsible for increasing storms and rain / snowfall.
