it is a routine thing that already happened several times last year when there was auroras, there was huge problems with internet services losing connectivity and power outages and systems going down as a result, the CMEs that caused these geomagnetic storms were trivially small

this solar cycle, we are in the peak, and likely we will have at least a couple more big light shows like last may in the next two years, and then all will be quiet for another 9-10 years when the solar max hits again

what will happen is that when a "killshot" sized blast hits us and the magnetic shield is weak enough, electrical distribution systems will literally catch fire (this happened in 1859 to the nascent telegraph network), basically every device with an antenna will have the radio fused and many of the power circuits and wiring in general will be overloaded with current and probably a lot of things will even catch fire

if this happens, it will shut down almost all industry for the time it takes to repair all the burned out devices, and if this destroys every electrical device on at least the sun-facing side where the blast comes from, it's gonna put a pretty big ding in everyone's year, or several years, because the repairs will likely take months, and just consider that for the most part, doing those repairs requires functioning electrical devices, and you'll also have the entire transport infrastructure down because all electrical vehicles will be toast and even most gas and diesel burning engines won't work because they are controlled by computers and don't work at all without the computer to regulate ignition timing, valves, and so on and so forth

the other reason why i care about this is i already am aware of the fact that EMF has a negative effect on our bodies by disrupting timing signals than are normally coming from the resonances of the earth's atmosphere, anyway, and i want to reduce my exposure to all forms of EMF, i have earthing mats and try to keep electrical devices away from my sleeping area

there is no question that:

a) the geomagnetic storm effect of solar events are increasing rapidly
b) the magnetic poles of the earth have been moving extremely rapidly for the last 25 years, suggesting something is disrupting the field
c) the geological evidence of cyclic past magnetic pole shifts have happened pretty much like clockwork every 6000 years with extra nasty events every 12000 years, relating to the phase of the cycle, obviously, 90 degree rotation roughly every 6000 years, this is the Yuga Cycle that the hindus talk about, and is the time that it takes for our solar system to make one orbit of the galaxy
d) the size of the solar event that caused the Carrington Event in 1859 is now known to happen roughly on a 100-150 year cycle and we are now coming well past due for another one to happen, and such an event based on the same power of the solar eruption compared to the magnitude of effects of much smaller eruptions measured in the last 30 years suggests that such an event has a very high chance of completely shutting down modern technological industry for probably years, and the number of people who will die of cold and starvation and in the associated weather, volcanic and seismic events that go along with these geomagnetic storms is going to be epic

there is plenty of evidence to support all of those assertions and the prospects are very high either in 10 years or 20 years from now that we are going to have such an event happen and only those who are prepared for it will survive

there was a particularly bad event 72000 years ago that literaly killed all but 5000 humans, and yes, by the way, you are Christian so you know about the Flood, well, that is the level of destruction we are talking about, and yes, you may well be fine because the books record a promise from God to not let this happen again, or maybe more exactly, to evacuate the righteous prior to the next event

but i don't think that anything in this life should be taken for granted and substantial liability falls on us to do the work we are called to do
