wonder if that moving sequential artifact in the very northern edge of the hemispheric view is the passing of the air mass changes pushed by the #solarstorm remnants?

From @TamithaSkov on the Twitsite:

"Multiple investigators asking me whether the ongoing #PuertoRico power #blackout was #solarstorm related. At the present time I cannot exclude the possibility that geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) played a role. The power failure occurred within several hours of the storm peak at G4-levels yesterday.
That coupled with the fragility of the grid and the increased power consumption expected during the daytime hours (it was 12:40p local time), means the grid was stressed in multiple ways. Since transformer heating from GICs is a slow process, the several-hour delay from the peak storm intensity is consistent. This is a troubling development."

Heh, and here I thought band conditions were poor yesterday... 😂

Protip: a coronal mass ejection is not only an event after you've consumed too many Mexican lagers.

Scientists Build Space Weather ‘Traffic Light’ to Protect Earth from Dangerous Solar Storms

While another solar wind stream is heading for Earth today, a solar storm last year demonstrated that even smaller solar events are something to worry about. The Gannon storm in May was formed when dozens of solar flares sent at least five coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. Those CMEs merged creating a major event. Researchers estimate the Gannon storm caused at least $500 million in losses for farmers alone. https://spacenews.com/solar-flares-in-may-2024-revealed-earths-vulnerability-to-space-weather/

The #Carrington Event was both the most powerful #SolarStorm and the most powerful #Geomagnetic #Storm ever recorded.

It started with an incredibly intense solar flare, the most powerful ever observed, releasing a massive amount of energy and matter from the Sun.

This solar storm sent a massive coronal mass ejection towards Earth, which then slammed into our magnetosphere, causing the most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded.
