I would move up using the WPG pick to draft Potential power outages. Would make us a tough playoff team.

 

[MasterD]

Respectfully, do we need this here?

If I want to hear about problems, I'll go on Facebook, TVA or LaPresse. Or any other mainstream media tbh.

 

[Frankenheimer]

That video and youtube comments is like an alternate reality.

 

[Fandangle]

The Utah Power Outage, the Utah Solar Flares, or how about the Utah Sun Spots.

How legit is that clip? Sounds like something that came from AI.

If legit, shouldn’t the news have widely been covering it by now?

According to this video, there's a 10 percent chance at the world ending, and then 10 seconds later he plugs a book for you to buy. lol.

Whatever.

From Newsweek:

Sun fires "solar storm train" at Earth—three direct hits for weekend

Five coronal mass ejections have been released from the sun in a short period of time, three of which are due to hit the Earth and cause geomagnetic storms.

A bit OT, but wasn’t it a solar storm that had caused the power outage in the early 90’s in Québec, while the Habs were in the playoffs game at the Forum? Claude Mouton announced to the crowd that they were the only people witnessing this game that night.

I remember living in Repentigny at the time and walking in my neighborhood, all the neighbours out as it was a hot evening.

Yup they allude to it in the video I posted above.

It was a fun night though. We didn’t have today’s internet grid and so it looked like a simple power outage.

That huge sunspot (AR3664) is almost 200,000 km from end to end and is 15 times wider than Earth. Apparently it's visible by just looking at it with approved solar glasses.

90% chance we don't do back to the stone age boys

March 1989 Quebec power outage was caused by CME.

Ha, there! I wasn’t sure of the year. Long time ago! I was 23! Woah!

That is comparable to Carrington sunspot from 1859. Apparently, that one was scary.

Trade Reinbacher now before the power goes out

Hopefully nothing bad happens and we get northern lights light-show.
Tomorrow night sky is going to be entertaining.
