G4 – Severe geomagnetic storm expected as multiple CMEs merge and impact Earth 5/11
#13
I honestly hope I never see it at 33°, because that means it's approaching the kind that fry out the electric grid.

For those like myself with an irrational Carrington Event fear they really need to invest in a rapid kill switch to the entire electrical grid in the event of a doomsday CME.

It has to be Plausible.

When I was 6 (1989), before we fled the throughway rustbelt, there was a massive geomagnetic storm. The one time I have seen the aurora. I don't remember being without power, but I remember the Quebec Blackout being a big deal.

I think I have subconsciously lived in fear of CMEs since.

Now I have seen it twice. Went out for unrelated reasons, and as I was walking, I was corrected, our marine layer isn't usually pink.

I am at 32.75° latitude. Surprised it's strong enough to see it in the center of Downtown San Diego. Wow!
