cowgirl (OP) User ID: 1140105 United States 10/24/2010 12:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | S 5 Extreme Biological: unavoidable high radiation hazard to astronauts on EVA (extra-vehicular activity); passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to radiation risk.*** Satellite operations: satellites may be rendered useless, memory impacts can cause loss of control, may cause serious noise in image data, star-trackers may be unable to locate sources; permanent damage to solar panels possible. Other systems: complete blackout of HF (high frequency) communications possible through the polar regions, and position errors make navigation operations extremely difficult.

cowgirl (OP) User ID: 1140105 United States 10/24/2010 12:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | G 5 Extreme Power systems: : widespread voltage control problems and protective system problems can occur, some grid systems may experience complete collapse or blackouts. Transformers may experience damage. Spacecraft operations: may experience extensive surface charging, problems with orientation, uplink/downlink and tracking satellites. Other systems: pipeline currents can reach hundreds of amps, HF (high frequency) radio propagation may be impossible in many areas for one to two days, satellite navigation may be degraded for days, low-frequency radio navigation can be out for hours, and aurora has been seen as low as Florida and southern Texas (typically 40° geomagnetic lat.)**.

You are uninformed... If we had anything like the great solar storm of 1856 we would have chaos already. Do your research before making such wild exaggerations...this is not even close to the storms we experienced even a few years ago... |
Esoteric Morgan ...in awe of many things User ID: 1048292 United States 10/24/2010 01:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.spaceweather.com] GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of severe geomagnetic storms around the poles on Oct. 25th. The forecast is prompted by a possible double whammy: both a solar wind stream and a CME could hit Earth's magnetic field on that date. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. ================================================= CURRENT: Planetary K-index Now: Kp= 3 quiet 24-hr max: Kp= 5 storm ================================================ ================================================ [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] G 4 Severe Kp = 8, including a 9- 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.)**. ======================================================== G 3 Strong Kp = 7 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.)**. ========================================================== G 2 Moderate Kp = 6 systems: high-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms, long-duration storms may cause transformer damage. Spacecraft operations: corrective actions to orientation may be required by ground control; possible changes in drag affect orbit predictions. Other systems: HF radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes, and aurora has been seen as low as New York and Idaho (typically 55° geomagnetic lat.)**. ====================================================== G 1 Minor Kp = 5 CURRENT WARNING Power systems: weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft operations: minor impact on satellite operations possible. Other systems: migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels; aurora is commonly visible at high latitudes (northern Michigan and Maine)**. ========================================================== Relationship between Kp and the Aurora [link to www.spaceweather.com] Last Edited by esotericMorgan on 10/24/2010 01:42 AM -- TRUST THE PLAN -- .......WWG1WGA...... ____________________________ still in awe of many things |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1140148 United States 10/24/2010 01:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh man. This looks really bad. I dug out my old home made faraday cage jock strap and bent the tin foil back into shape. But if we're gonna' have earthquakes too, that really sucks. I usually ride out earthquake warnings on my full suspension mountain bike. Do you realise how uncomfortable that combination is gonna' be??? |
