Solar Storm Hitting Ionosphere, Galactic Current Sheet:
@SunWeatherMan Don’t know if it is related but my home internet was down during the overnight and we now have a cascading crash of our systems at work in the north east.
@SunWeatherMan Solar storms are quite common. Big enough ones to threaten regional disaster are thankfully quite rare, as I understand it. earthsky.org/space/how-like…
@SunWeatherMan Maine was reporting around 12.5% of customers experiencing a power outage a couple of hours ago (reports based on 72 hour period) but is now below 12%. data.usatoday.com/national-power…
@SunWeatherMan I took this at 11am this morning. My first time photographing the sun. Pretty amazing to be able to see the spots!
@SunWeatherMan Hey ben, look what i just found on this auction website. Dozens of ventilators and bipap machines from 2020. Brand new in the box, priced to start bidding at $5. I guess those were super necessary.
