Coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, are violent discharges of material from the Sun's outer atmosphere. The ejected material can travel at speeds of up to a million miles per hour. If this flow of charged particles and embedded magnetic field collides with Earth, it can dramatically disrupt Earth's geomagnetic field and ionosphere. The ensuing geomagnetic storms can result in:
- disrupted communication networks
- errors in navigation systems
- satellite failures
- electricity blackouts
- radiation hazards to astronauts
- disruption of flow meters in oil pipelines
- aggravation to geophysical exploration for natural resources
If a CME hit the United States and shut down all the power grid would you be ready? Do you have a plan for this and if not get on it. NASA has said that the chance of a Big CME in the next year and a half to two years is something that could happen. And with the weak power grid the chance of it going down is good. So plan for no power, no water and no heat or way to cook from your everyday way of life. Make a plan to heat, cook and find water without power.
Will this happen, who know's; can this happen, yes it can and if it does it will put this country back 200 years in a blink of an eye. Think outside of the box for your prepping plans.
