Hello ArizonaEnergy, I don’t see any major Geomagnetic storms
occurring. The maximum “Kp” index is 5 over the next 3 days.
That corresponds to a “G1” NOAA scale which is a minor storm. We have
been having them all the time, with no major impact other then light
shows. There are some folks out there that make money
trying to scare the crap out of people. I see these “solar storm”
warnings all the time. They’re usually from people making money selling
survival stuff. If you go on the SWPC
site, you can subscribe to tons of products that analyze what’s really
going on with the Sun, like this 72 hour forecast. It’s all free, and
right from the source. Also the scales are at
