A lot of the wireless gear we use at work uses GPS for synchronization, and I saw some disruptions this afternoon at two of our sites. |

Quote HistoryI received a text message from someone I know at NASA 2 hours ago stating that this was a G5 and that the NOAA was downplaying it to not cause panic. Seems that he was correct in this. Internal alerts were sent out about 3 hrs ago about this, however there were no mentioning by the media or the NOAA. smh  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well that doesn’t sound good… My apologies, the internal alerts were sent out this morning, not 3 hrs ago. He is just an engineer so this is his interpretation of the meeting he was in. I cant post a screenshot (this site wont let me upload) of it but i will copy and paste: "theyve been saying the NOAA have been downplaying the strength levels. NOAA says G4 strength, theyre thinking possibly G5 strength because the path of resistance is wiped out after a CME passes through. So as each one goes through space, the path of resistance is further weakened allowing the other CME's, despite being weaker, allows them to hit earth harder because theres less slowing them down and the magnetic field is further weakened and has less time to recover between hits." "and there was a level 4 X flare that went off early this morning they think may hit us earlier than expected because now its traveling extra fast and may catch up and run in to the previous X flares currently coming at us basically creating a stronger hit" "some of them are our (NASA) guys and they said theyve had meetings this morning that gave out G5 storm watch which hasnt been posted or talked about anywhere by the media or NOAA. But that alert is going around internally amongst Govt officials" |

Real world question, should things take a more severe turn, would generators still work, for those of us that have them?
The alert I saw in another post mentioned generators so I'm curious. |
