Severe geomagnetic storm watch issued: What to know

National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a severe G4 geomagnetic storm watch on Friday after a storm that is likely through the beginning of the weekend.

We've hit G5 so many times today. It isn't two different magnetic fields. It is the toroidal segmentation of the same field. Also, Oxygen is pink at higher altitudes of the atmosphere. Do better as a meteorologist. Explaining something with false information, helps noone.

[@Scarywesley4]

You do know he has to use layman’s terms for the general public right? No one will understand toroidal segmentation so saying 2 magnetic fields being connected is a great interpretation.

[@shelleythompson-brock6412]

@@Scarywesley4 It isn't an interpretation, its false information. There's nothing difficult about explaining what a toroid is. But trying to explain something that is the diametric opposite of actuality, is complete intellectual dishonesty. This is just more..."Trust nothing coming from MSM.", for good reason. They never speak truth. Most people understand more than you think, and its an insult to everyone's intelligence, that something completely erroneous needs to be 'dumbed down'. I think the meteorologist is just ignorant and needs to do his homework.

The best way to insure safety, listen closely. First clasp your hands, then bend down, close your eyes and pray...

[@fuzzballproductions9275]

my guy you do not need to do all that for this solar storm acting like its the apocolypse and everything 😅 all that's gunna happen is the power gunna go to for a couple days.

[@BMarie774]

Why so that? All fear mongering will do is make people think they need to react that way. It might seem funny. But it’s not.

[@intercode32]

texas is safe

[@fuzzballproductions9275]

@@BMarie774 I don't find it funny, I find it stupid that people don't research and immediately assume the worst is going to happen, creating a chain reaction that makes others freak out.

i live in ohio so its gonna be more severe here?

Don't worry dude, its not gunna be severe anywhere, especially in Ohio, you may experience a little of it depending on where you are in Ohio, northern areas getting the blunt of it (and by it I mean mabye some power outage for a couple days nothing more) but yeah you and everyone will be fine, I live in Michigan (above Ohio) and im not worried about it 😁👍

Good thing the planet's magnetic field has decrease by more than 10%.

[@michaelgusovsky]

30-40% it was at 15% down when NASA decided to stop updating the data years ago.

[@shelleythompson-brock6412]

It has decreased by over 30%, nearing 35%. So, we're not at a complete magnetosphere collapse, but the poles are definitely moving at a clip. The fact that we're able to see Aurora at such low latitudes is because of the weakened magnetic shield strength.

he is right lol, literally if people actually research its just a short little power outage and we will have to live without our phones for a couple days... unbearable right 🙄

[@lcunningham1776]

The magnetic field gets compressed by solar wind, too.

[@zim_christ_lion]

All that will happen is WIFi, signal and electricity might go out. We will all be OK. Nothing to worry about. Enjoy the stunning light displays while you have the chance.
