Unless you have the stomach for watching Nicholas Cage grimace/scowl into the camera with forced melodrama while driving slowly through a general collapse of society, best skip to about the 2:50 mark......

That thing is bubbling too. Relax, enjoy the ride!Hold on a minute! What about the supervolcano in yellowstone? I thought we are supposed to all die from that?
The west is so dry it would be an ELE out here. (Extinction Level Event) The smoke alone would probably affect the entire northern hemisphere.Think of the fires this would cause.
Information recently says this is not true. According to some educated researchers, plasma discharges and similar events are represented and described in many ancient cave paintings and petroglyphs as events significant enough to document them as best as they could.in the past the solar flares didn't mean much to human beings
Super Novas and some extremely large solar flares may have been seen and are most certainly recorded in rock art but what I meant was that in general, people didn't associate say a sudden fire with a solar flare that most of the time they didn't even see.Information recently says this is not true. According to some educated researchers, plasma discharges and similar events are represented and described in many ancient cave paintings and petroglyphs as events significant enough to document them as best as they could.
If a country is on the dark side when it hits, can it dodge the worst of it?
The difference is that while crashes from asteroids will affect anyone too close to them, in the past the solar flares didn't mean much to human beings.
A full direct hit of a large CME will "Bounce" the magnetosphere that surrounds the earth. This moves around the magnetic fields making large currents in wires. The currents overwhelm the ability of transformers to maintain a proper waveform causing safety shutdowns to pop, wires to burn out. If a couple of transformers burn out, it puts higher load on the remaining and can lead to a cascading failure. If several smoke, it will cause a failure.How long a period does the damage occur? If a country is on the dark side when it hits, can it dodge the worst of it?
OK, I was referring to more recent (like last 8,000 years) of history, there are some signs in very ancient rock art: Hopi/Anasazi, Australia, and a few other places that suggest SOMETHING came from the sky.Disagree! If such events were meaningless to humans then why did they hide inside of mountains, etc., for close to a thousand years? It's because the Sun was pelting the earth with dangerous solar flares and radiation.
Not an expert!The Carrington Event shows the level of voltage spike that's possible from one of these events. Such a voltage spike can shock a telegraph operator and disable telegraph equipment that's meant to operate at probably less than 12 volts. Here's discussion of DIY telegraph equipment and it's all under 12 volts. Re: Telegraph Voltage (Electricity 101)
That does not mean it would damage a system operating at 512,000 volts, a typical voltage for long distance electrical transmission. 128,000 volts is more local, and down as low as 4000 volts for local distribution such as the wires passing by your house. Primary Distribution Voltage Levels
It would take a lot more to bring down the power grid than it took to shock telegraph operators.
Turn when?I watch BP and Suspicious Observers(SO). SO I watch every morning. He said that the pair of spots that produced that xflare last week will turn into view and remain earth facing for 14 days....fingers crossed, prayers said that pair of spots behave!!!
The mystical "smoke genie"!It was not that it "Shocked" operators, it had so much current that it set the wires and steel wire fences on fire. These were thick, heavy wires, meant for DC power, not the thin AC high voltage wires that we have today. Modern semi conductors are extremely sensitive to spikes in voltage and a Carrington type event would smoke the entire grid and most things connected to it.
The longer the wire, the more current it produces when the wave passes over it. When any conductor passes through a magnetic field, it makes an electrical current, this is how generators work. Miles long, or longer wires will gain so much current that they will smoke anything thy are hooked to. Don't forget, transformers work both ways. A high voltage spike on the low voltage side makes a HUGE high voltage spike on the other side. This is why your 1000 watt toy generator can kill a lineman if you back feed the grid with it.
Even simple LED (Light emitting diodes) must be wired in series to a high value resistor before connecting to a little battery or they will let out the magic smoke. Once the magic smoke gets out, they never work again. Same for most things computer, those pesky things that currently (Pardon the pun) run the entire world. I play with semi conductors as a hobby (Ardruino programming, CNC machine building, experimental circuits etc..) and have let the smoke out of a bunch of things just by supplying a little to much voltage.
It’s turning now, and will continue to rotate Earth-facing for the next two weeks.Turn when?

Sorry, I usually do, I was in a hurryRun time? Who put out this video?
If the power grid failed you would not be able to buy gas. Just keep the car 3/4 or fuller.If the sun sends out a flare, would it affect starting or driving vehicles?
I believe in an event severe enough to blow transformers and take down the grid, newer vehicles with electrical components won't run. Someone with knowledge of older vehicles would have to respond to the model year of vehicles that would run. From the 1970's back...???If the power grid failed you would not be able to buy gas. Just keep the car 3/4 or fuller.
Thanks! I don’t usually watch any movies, hardly ever, but I wanted to see this one, perfect timing with all that is happening...I was sick yesterday and just watched it. Good Movie.
This movie is actually free on youtube at the moment. you have to watch a couple of ads at the beginning but otherwise....
FULL MOVIE
