"G4 gemagtic storm -G4 (Severe) Geomagnetic Storm Impacts

Power systems: Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid.
Spacecraft operations: May experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems.
Other systems: Induced pipeline currents affect preventive measures, HF radio propagation sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted, and aurora has been seen as low as Alabama and northern California (typically 45° geomagnetic lat.)."

8.0 earthquake in Mexico  :pray
I read many hypotheses connecting earthquakes with solar activity; could be true

The epicenter shows off the coast in Pacific, could  cause tsunami:

Couldn't get a glimpse of the Northern Lights because of rain in the area (NE Ohio.)  Mother Nature does what she must.  I never worry about things I have no control over.  If there is a Tsunami grab the surfboard!  If there is an earthquake start a game of Twister.  When life gives ya lemons........make lemonade!

No fun here either. The mornings have been relatively nice but in the late afternoon it has started raining every day after they announced for the Great Light Show.  :mad:
