btw, there are charts you can find relating to the magnetic disturbances from solar weather and south east of USA right now had some strong disturbances in recent days... not really surprising that baltimore may have had their bridge crashed into by a big ship that happened to be in the wrong place as a strong field caused its engine to stutter and blow smoke

so it's double, when you consider the path of the eclipse AND the magnetic field weakness

they aren't saying much else in the media but this is something that is going to tick up and down but maybe a bit quiet for a week, but then again tick back up

the thing that's important to understand is that if a carrington event sized CME wipes out every single cable acrcoss a whole section of the earth, it could be even years before the power is restored

if you live near a city, that's a lotta hungry people you are gonna compete with
