End of World in 2013.....

[prerunner1982]

Maybe the Mayans were too far off with their prediction of 2012?

Ok... now read NASA's actual site... doesn't sound as bad does it? I know a lot of amateur radio operators are waiting on this event though.

What do you think? All electronics will cease to operate.....or it's another Y2k?

I haven't read all the articles, but I believe this is the common 11 year solar cycle. My first one was in the mid 70's. You could talk any where in the world with 100 watts and a wet noodle as an antenna. The ionasphere was so reflective because of all the charged solar particles hitting it. The next one was 11 years later, but I was busy doing other things. I was looking forward to the current one, but it's been on hold for a few years. The Sun isn't precise on it's 11 year cycle.

The big difference this time is that we use satellites so much. Voice, data, etc... But really massive solar storm always has the possibility of hitting the Earth and knocking out communication. It's a daily thing.

So end of the world? Yeah if you can't pay for your Star Bucks coffee with your ATM I guess you might consider it the end of the world.

If you are really worried about it, get a generator so you can run the electrical appliances at your house during the brief power outages. It won't be like a EMF pulse from a high altitude nuclear explosion.

I think those of us with Jeeps will be fine. :thumbsup::driving:

[DETOURS]

Those of us with Jeeps without electronic ignitions will be fine! :D

All ignitions are electronic, lol. Prepare. Get a spare coil, wrap in in aluminum foil then attach a ground wire around the foil. Attach the wire to a 8' ground rod driven into the ground.

Space Weather News for Sept. 22, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

GLOBAL ERUPTION ON THE SUN: This morning between 0230 UT and 0600 UT, the northern hemisphere of the sun erupted in a tumult of activity. There was a solar flare, a coronal mass ejection, and at least two dark magnetic filaments lifting off the stellar surface. The event appears to be a smaller-scale version of the global blast in early August that sparked auroras over some US states. As before, NASA spacecraft recorded the action in detail. Visit http://spaceweather.com for movies and updates.

SOUTHWESTERN FIREBALL RIVALS THE HARVEST MOON: Last night, sky watchers in the southwestern United States witnessed a brilliant fireball. It was almost as bright as the full Harvest Moon and caused a loud sonic boom over parts of New Mexico. A movie of the event is highlighted on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

SPACE WEATHER ALERTS: With the coming of northern autumn, aurora season is underway. Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms erupt at your latitude? Sign up for Space Weather Phone: http://spaceweatherphone.com
