hey my face got mangled!
Electro-Magnetic storm to hit Earth today.
According to a CBC article that I read this morning,Friday, Oct 24, a strong electro-magnetic storm will reach the Earth sometime today. A large sunspot discharge, called a "Coronal Mass Ejection(CME)" was released on Wednesday, and will hit earth today. According to scientists, this is the largest CME in years, and could cause damage to communications satellites, cell phone infrastructure, possibly power grids, and other electrical interference or damage. The last large CME did cause satellite damage.
I just report this so that interested people may take precautionary action to safeguard their systems from any possible effects by this CME. It may be prudent to disconnect your sensitive electronics from the wall, and temporarily disconnect your antenna wiring until this passes by.
It may not damage the equipment, but scientists believe that damage may be possible, so it may be better to be safe than sorry.
Heads up.
