Huge Stripe On The Sun - Is Earth In Serious Danger? 10 August, 2012
![]() Now astronomers have discovered huge dark strip on the surface of the Sun. It is estimated this filament is about 800,000 km in length! Astrophysicists presume dark spots on the Sun are areas where the temperature is lower. However what we see here is not a normal sunspot and it is growing at an alarming rate. According to researchers the region has increased to almost one million kilometers in just three days. NASA forecasts that in September 2012, there will be outbreaks of unprecedented power. We can expect huge solar flares that can have serious effect world-wide. Commenting on the study of the dangers of "space weather", astrophysicist Daniel Baker claimed that the effects will be comparable to a nuclear war or the fall of a giant asteroid. However, in terms of power grids and satellites, it's not the flares that the experts have to worry about, but the CMEs. There is a risk that one day, they can wipe out all of our electronic civilization. Solar storms can disrupt communication, and navigational equipment, damage satellites, and even cause blackouts by damaging power plants and electrical grid components. They can also bring additional radiation around the north and south poles; and this, in turn forces airlines to reroute their flights. According to a report published by NERC, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC, which oversees North America's power grid we can feel the effects for several years to come. "Historically large storms have a potential to cause power grid blackouts and transformer damage of unprecedented proportions, long-term blackouts and lengthy restoration times, and chronic shortages for multiple years are possible," the report said. ![]() Click on image to enlarge Terrible stripe on the Sun This filament happened on Aug. 5th, 2012. 11 images were put together to create this huge filamament on the Sun.

Richard Andres, an energy and environmental security expert at the military's National Defense University (NDU), is helping to coordinate an interagency group to deal with the problem. The failure of the national power grid could be disastrous, he said. In a worst-case scenario, commerce would almost instantly cease, he said, noting he was speaking for himself and not the U.S. government. Water and fuel, which depend on electric pumps, would stop flowing in most cities within hours, modern communications would end and mechanized transport would stall. Backup generators for hospitals, the military, and other critical facilities would be vulnerable if they depended on diesel or natural gas, which also rely on pipelines for resupply. The report said more than 130 million people in the United States could be affected. Andres said the death toll could run into the millions in the worst-case scenario. How many people will suffer world-wide? We can only make guesses about the number of deaths. Space weather experts already warn that the next solar storm can be much worse than previously expected. There are leaks in Earth's magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field which acts as our protective shield in space has a hole in it. That could be a problem because a weakened field could leave Earth vulnerable to solar storms. Unfortunately it is impossible to determine in advance in how serious danger Earth will be. ![]() "It's a lot like asking how many trees would fall in the next hurricane," a government expert said. "We don't know that, but we do know that there will be a hurricane. When we have another space weather superstorm, there will be an effect on the grid. We're trying to understand now what that effect is going to be." We should hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. http://www.messagetoeagle.com/cracki...p#.UCWG3ey0M7n |

Its just a flesh wound.....
It appears to be a sun spot in a line formation ![]() http://www.davidreneke.com/huge-stri...rth-in-danger/ |

James McCanney has been warning about our alphabet soup agencies using a solar event to bring down our power grid. A perfect event to control the population.

James McCanney has been warning about our alphabet soup agencies using a solar event to bring down our power grid. A perfect event to control the population. To the OP, that is a very disconcerting filament building up there, having only glanced through the material in this page did anyone see projections for if/when it collapses? This coincides a bit with some other doom I've been following. Mitchell Coombes apparently successfully predicted the Japan EQ/Tsunami: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...&id=1427705082 There is a psychic in Australia by the same name but be advised it is NOT the psychic Coombes that called the Japan EQ. This same guy is claiming the 104 hour warning is coming again soon and to be prepared. Creepy. After reading up on him he claims to know someone involved in HAARP that lets Coombes know when the device is brought online. Basically he claims if it hits certain power generation then it cannot be reversed and to be prepared (this is where the 104 hour warning comes from). last week he made this claim: Ok everyone, you've been warned of what's to come, we are getting extremely close to the 104 hour tsunami warning. I strongly advise that if you live on the east coast of NSW and west coast of USA, have your evacuation gear ready to go as soon as possible. I said on March 11 that California would be next after Japan's countdown... Sydney's earthquake will be magnitude 9.5, California's earthquake will be magnitude 9.6, followed by two 9.4's, all of these tsunamis will be created in the same exact hour Warning of massive Earthquake and Tsunami to hit Australia and California. |

I couldn't disagree more - if the grid were knocked out by a solar storm it would be pandemonium in short order. http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthre...ht-Doom-Thread |

I'm storing any electronics I don't use on a regular basis in my Faraday Cage.
Came across some new info lately..... To protect a back up PC.... Wrap your PC's case with Saran Wrap, then wrap it with heavy gauge aluminum foil then ground it [I used alligator clips on a wire and clipped it on one end of the "Faraday Cage" & the other in the third prong of a plugged in extension cord. You can also clip it to another PC that is plugged in] |
