The Geo Storm is a sport compact car manufactured by Isuzu that was sold in the United States by Geo from 1990 until 1993. The same vehicles, with minor variations, were sold by Geo in Canada in the 1992 and 1993 model years only. The Storm was intended to be a budget car with the look and feel of a sports car. It was sold in two-door liftback and hatchback forms.

IF that means PNW gets to see Northern Lights... awesome. But.. doubtful?

Hope so..

Well I just got a defibrillator installed in my chest and they say to watch out for magnetic field generating devices, like if I run my weed eater I need to have the power head under my right side because my implant is under my left arm. I guess if I got to go Sun Spots is as good of way as any.

 

[CamoDeafie]

Hope so..

Just our luck, we don't see anything and all the cool stuff happened already

Is there a time frame for best viewing?

 

[Camelfilter]

From what I've read elsewhere, this set has a low probability for causing widespread calamity. As in another Carrington event.

I'm hearing all sorts of times..but 10pm-2am seems to be in the lead

I'm not so concerned about any damage the "cannibal cme event" may cause. I'm concerend that certain powers at be will use this event as cover for their own 'events'

Like..Russia..but I'll shuddup about that and just enjoy the lights tonight

Viewing tonight through the wee hours of Saturday morning. Thinking after dark…

The Canadian Prepper sez….

…. "The last S.T.A. (Solar terror attack) of 165 years ago pretty much wiped out all the computers, the entire electrical grid and radio communications world-wide….
… you'd think we'd be prepared for this one!"
