NOAA’s space weather experts are available to discuss this and the potential for more solar storms this week.
Impacts have arrived on Earth, jolting the planet’s magnetic field and triggering strong “geomagnetic storming” in some regions. Saturday’s coronal mass ejection – a burst of charged particles and magnetic field that streamed out from the sun at about five million miles an hour – delivered a glancing blow to the planet. If it had been directed straight at Earth, the geomagnetic storming could have reached “severe” to “extreme” levels.
Geomagnetic storms on Earth can impede the operation of electrical grids and temporarily damage radio and satellite telecommunications. No impacts to the power grid, satellite or other technological systems have yet been reported yet from today’s geomagnetic storm, which could persist for several more hours.
The spot on the sun that produced Saturday’s coronal mass ejection remains active and is well positioned to deliver more storm activity in the next several days. NOAA’s SWPC will continue to watch the active region for activity, and will continue to inform its customers – grid operators, satellite operators, airlines and more – about what to expect, so they can protect infrastructure and the public.
Space weather can also trigger spectacular aurora (northern and southern lights). Tonight, viewers in Northern Asia and Europe have a chance of seeing aurora.

Power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices.Spacecraft operations: surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems. |
Other systems: intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon (typically 50° geomagnetic lat.)**.
In other words NOAA is telling that they expect that a big solar storm can devastate the planet at any moment.If the NOAA forecast happens you will not have anything, nor water to drink because the water pumps to supply it to the city will not work, obviously no emergency service could help you.
Other detail to take into consideration are the nuclear centrals, if the grid systems become complete collapse or blackout, then the cooling systems of atomic reactors will not work and all them will explode progressively as happened at Fukushima,when Japan Earthquake And Tsunami Caused By “Solar Flare”.
I have no concern. We are already prepared. Safe grid is already setup. I am content no American/Canadian/Mexican citizens have to worry, especially the governments.
the info i am about to expose here is from the website http://www.solarwatcher.net
i suggest you go there and grasp more important info.
here is something i would like to contribute from that site,
it quotes:
“Targeting three separate regions on the solar corona to earth this watch period.
First region is Southern Hemisphere 22-27° Latitude, regions best mapped for a strong 7.5 magnitude earthquake are: Antofagasta-Chile, Kermadec Islands, Tonga, South Of Fiji Region or Easter Islands Region.
Second area mapped to 56-60° North latitude, best mapped regions are : Kodak Islands, Southern Alaska, Gulf Of Alaska, Alaskan Peninsula Region or the Koryakskiy Russia Region.
*also a watch for volcanic activity in the Kamchatka Peninsula*
Third and final region that could see an event 22-26° north latitude zones, areas targeted for a possible 6.5 Magnitude earthquake are: Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, Yunnan-China or the Myanmar Region.
Ionospheric Anomalies are South Japan Islands stretching across to India and Central America also have significant readings.
OLR anomalies are this week located : Gujarat-India, Mariana Islands, Christchurch- New Zealand, Arizona/Nevada-America and South of Alaska Region

MAJOR X-FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have detected a long-duration X1.4-class solar fare coming from a new sunspot on the sun’s eastern limb. The blast, which peaked at 1100 UT, produced a significant CME, but the cloud is not Earth-directed.

This watch is targeting a southern hemisphere coronal hole which is not numbered but moving rapidly, i feel this could produce a significant 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
Targeting 21-26° South Latitude, best fit symmetrically from sun to earth are :
Tonga, Kermadec Islands, Loyalty Islands or Easter Islands Region.
Other areas that could receive events during this watch are:
Christchurch, New Zealand 5.1-5.6 Magnitude
Northern hemisphere watch is for 11-14° Latitude, best fit area mapped symmetrically from sun to earth is the Philippines Region.”
