It was followed by a large Coronal Mass Ejection. While it is still being modeled, it will impact earth within 48 hours. Likely effects: 1. Large-scale power grid disruption on the sun-facing side of the earth during impact 2. Large-scale disruption of communications: A. HF Radio blackout B. Satellite blackout C. Data/Cellular loss of information D. Damage to computer systems 3. Earthquakes during compression of the earth’s magnetopause. *** Present focus is on Harvey and Irma and the attention of the public is limited. Please distribute.
