A powerful solar storm is due to hit Earth today and could cause havoc for power grids, weather agencies have warned.
The UK's Met Office and the US's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have forecasted a coronal mass ejection (CME) – a massive expulsion of plasma from the Sun's corona (its outermost layer) at around 12pm EST (5pm BST) today.
According to spaceweather.com, "this is not a Carrington event", i.e. minimal danger to power grids and satellites. The dailymail is jumping on the bullshit fear bandwagon.
An EOD guy using a stick? What's up with that? Considering your profession nothing less than a quarter stick is expected. Hell, my back yard looks like it was carpet bombed with a B-17.
Da Sun is coming today. No, not that one.
