Officials from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) held a media briefing on Friday to discuss the upcoming severe solar storm, which is forecast to arrive on Friday night.

NOAA has issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch, the first one since 2005, after a series of moderate to strong solar flares. A severe solar storm can disrupt communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

  • Why it took NOAA until the day of the event to comment is ridiculous. Thank God for the vigilant people on Youtube who warned us all weeks ago.

    99.99999% of the population have absolutely no idea of what's going on. I've told my family and of couse they think I'm mad. Ho Hum.
  • @michaela6147
    Can we direct this storm directly to Washington DC?

    Suspicious Observers Channel as always is the resource for this information. He called it yesterday morning.

    And add to this the fact that our Magnet Field is much weaker now than when the Carrington Event occurred.
  • I love that the description of the Carrington event is that aurora appeared in central america...not that communications infrastructure was destroyed in some areas of mainland USA. They really dont want people to know whats going on
  • @CITYPREPPER016
    The government is not going to tell us if it's going to take down the power grid Good luck everyone
  • @Fatpumpumlovah2
    for those that do not know.. these events also brings along earthquakes and the pressure on earth changes during these events.
  • Due to your tasteless and irresponsible "day of" response.... I hope none of you are receiving federal money????
  • @SaltyTravelingC
    Like yelling 'Fire!' after were looking at the burned out, smoldering ruins
  • @Wireman134

  • @danielnigra1922
    DID ONE OF THEM SAY SPACE WEATHER DOES NOT AFFECT CELL SERVICE?? CLOWNS
  • @JustinLanier
    Probably a G5 event easy because our magnetosphere is weak. The magnetic N & S poles are going through an excursion. This storm will bring the ruckus. 🌀
  • @jumpyonthehill
    He didn't bother to tell everybody that the Carrington event burn up every telegraph line in North America and Europe

    "What should we do to prepare?" "Well, nothing, because you should already be prepared with emergency supplies like water and food"
