Warning – Potential Internet & Phone Blackouts May 10-11

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a warning regarding potential technological blackouts today and tomorrow.

Two massive sunspots have merged, ejecting multiple solar flares. Two of the flares are considered the largest in their category. Expanding as they travel through space, they are expected to reach Earth late today (Friday) or early tomorrow.

As a result, NOAA has raised its geomagnetic solar storm watch ranking from “moderate” to “severe.” This is the first time the “severe” ranking has been issued in 19 years.

Making sure the warning is taken seriously, the organization’s statement read in part, “This is an unusual event.”

Technological disruptions could range from blackouts of high-frequency radio to satellite communication and GPS problems. If the solar storm proves to be even stronger than expected, it could negatively affect the electric grid.

We suggest you power up all your electronic devices prior to this evening.
