Solar Storm to hit on Bastille Day - July 14th....

March 13th 1989 - Bastille Day...

March 13,1989; a powerful geomagnetic storm set off a
major power blackout in Canada that left six million
people without electricity for nine hours. According to
the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC), the flare disrupted electric power transmission
from the Hydro Québec generating station and even melted
some power transformers in New Jersey....Tthe entire
province of Quebec, Canada suffered an electrical power
blackout. Hundreds of blackouts occur in some part of
North America every year. The Quebec Blackout was
different, because this one was caused by a solar storm!

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs),
associated giant clouds of plasma in space, are the
largest explosions in the solar system. It was like the
energy of thousands of nuclear bombs exploding at the
same time. The storm cloud rushed out from the sun,
straight towards Earth, at a million miles an hour. The
solar flare that accompanied the outburst immediately
caused short-wave radio interference, including the
jamming of radio signals from Radio Free Europe into
Russia

The Quebec Blackout was by no means a local event. Some
of the U.S. electrical utilities had their own
cliffhanger problems to deal with. New York Power lost
150 megawatts the moment the Quebec power grid went down.
The New England Power Pool lost 1,410 megawatts at about
the same time. Service to 96 electrical utilities in New
England was interrupted while other reserves of
electrical power were brought online. Luckily, the U.S.
had the power to spare at the time…but just barely.
Across the United States from coast to coast, over 200
power grid problems erupted within minutes of the start
of the March 13 storm.

Expect a much greater amount of lightening and subsequent fires and
death from getting zapped or burned to death.

Notice how our official agencies are no longer reporting squat as to
the mass of any given CME.
