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.

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

    99.99999% of the population have absolutely no idea of what's going on. I've told my family and of couse they think I'm mad. Ho Hum.

    Suspicious Observers Channel as always is the resource for this information. He called it yesterday morning.
  • I love that the description of the Carrington event is that aurora appeared in central america...not that communications infrastructure was destroyed in some areas of mainland USA. They really dont want people to know whats going on
  • @Weirddos18
    And add to this the fact that our Magnet Field is much weaker now than when the Carrington Event occurred.
  • Due to your tasteless and irresponsible "day of" response.... I hope none of you are receiving federal money????
  • @Fatpumpumlovah2
    for those that do not know.. these events also brings along earthquakes and the pressure on earth changes during these events.
