Solar storm

96terrano · 23-02-2011, 21:31

Don't know if anybody else has one, but there is a solar storm over dumfrise and Galloway where we live. it's all ready taken out half our towns power. Street lights have all blown, the radio in my mums Honda jazz has fried itself think the ecu has to because it idles at 3500 rpm

and our computer, phones and things have burnt out

went outside and there's no wind, rain or anything common. Think it's electromagnetic radiation

an unexpected solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Feb. 21st. The impact did not spark a strong geomagnetic storm, but auroras appeared around the Arctic Circle anyway

Tuesday night I was teaching a class of teenagers about propogation and how sun spots effect this. Try saying "coronal mass ejection" in front of half a dozen teens and see what happens

I took great care in pronouncing correctly but still got caos
