THE ENTIRE WORLD IS TOLD TO BRACE FOR “SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM” TODAY, WHICH COULD BRING CHAOS TO MOBILE PHONE NETWORKS, GPS SATELLITES, POWER GRIDS, CAUSE INTERNET INTERRUPTIONS, AND RADIO BLACKOUTS ACROSS EUROPE, ASIA AND AFRICA, ESPECIALLY
Daniel Whyte III, President of G.L.S. International, Has Warned America and the World For Over 20 Years That You Can Call it “Climate Change” if You Want to You Can Call it “Mother Nature” if You Want to. But the Truth is God Has Always Controlled the Climate, and Has Always Controlled Nature. The Real Reason These Things Are Happening is That God is Not Pleased With What Man is Doing in America and the World, and the Main Group of People Who Need to Repent, Posthaste, are not the Governments of the World; it is Not Presidential Candidates, it is Not Universities and the Educational System, and it is Not the Financial Institutions, IT IS EVANGELICALS.
The uncommonly powerful solar storm is expected to hit around midday Friday
It follows a series of solar flares that began on Wednesday, tipping officials off
The prospective storm could cause disruptions to GPS, the internet and power
A rare and powerful solar storm may occur in outer space today which could wreak havoc on earth, officials have warned – the first in nearly 20 years if it happens.
At least five streams of plasma, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are heading toward Earth, prompting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Friday into the weekend.
This is the first such alert aired since 2005 when Earth was hit with the highest dose of radiation in a half-century.
This time around, the ‘unusual event’ could disrupt electronic devices like GPS and parts of power grids, NOAA said – while citing how it may also drape a huge portion of the country, as far south as Alabama, in colorful natural lights.
The CMEs exploded from a massive sunspot, an area on the sun that is cooler than the surface, on May 8 – paving the way for Thursday’s alert.
In it, officials explained how the expulsions of matter and magnetic field from the celestial body’s atmosphere could cause problems for millions of earthlings as soon as noon ET Friday.
‘NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) – a division of the National Weather Service – is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8,’ the emergency alert read.
‘Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday.
‘Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend,’ it went on, before describing the abnormal activity that tipped space specialists off.
‘A large sunspot cluster has produced several moderate to strong solar flares since Wednesday at 5:00 am ET,’ it read.
‘At least five flares were associated with CMEs that appear to be Earth-directed. SWPC forecasters will monitor NOAA and NASA’s space assets for the onset of a geomagnetic storm.’
CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun’s corona, which cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth.
A solar or geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth’s magnetosphere – the area around Earth controlled by the planet’s magnetic field.
And the Friday storm has been rated ‘G4’ (on a scale of one to five), making it a ‘severe’ storm.’
‘Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface,’ the statement went on, stating how the storm could ‘potentially [disrupt] communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.’
It also could ‘wipe out the internet’ for some, scientists further warned – as NOAA upped the Geomagnetic Storm Watch from Moderate to Severe for Friday through Sunday late Thursday.

‘SWPC has notified the operators of these systems so they can take protective action,’ officials wrote upon administering the action.
‘Geomagnetic storms can also trigger spectacular displays of aurora on Earth,’ they added of some of the potential storm’s more scenic side effects.
‘A severe geomagnetic storm includes the potential for aurora to be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California.’
The last time the Space Weather Prediction Center issued such a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch was in January 20, 2005, beginning just before 2 a.m. ET.
A storm of energetic protons impacted Earth just 15 minutes later, causing a radio burst with a high frequency, indicating the presence of a large number of energetic electrons in very strong magnetic fields.
In the blink of an eye, the outburst shocked Earth with the highest dose of radiation measured in five decades, tripping radiation monitors all over the planet within moments.
‘This flare produced the largest solar radiation signal on the ground in nearly 50 years,’ Richard Mewaldt of the California Institute of Technology said at the time, as other services like the internet were largely spared.
‘But we were really surprised when we saw how fast the particles reached their peak intensity and arrived at Earth,’ the scientist added.
In that case, the raging proton storm peaked in 15 minutes – though normally, the most intense part of a proton event typically takes two hours or longer to build up, officials said Thursday.
The event, if it occurs, will start as early as noon ET, officials warned – after a G5 storm in 2004 caused power outages in Sweden while damaging power transformers in South Africa.
This time around, the US will likely be affected, officials said.
