For untold millenia the earth has experienced solar storms. It's only now in our recent history of electronics and electricity that we seem to have to worry about it and only due to our advanced "toys." So, the power grid shuts down, boo hoo. It means Wall Street, the banks, the huge multinationals and government shut down along with all the manipulation and corruption. I don' think that's a bad thing. People have obviously weathered the storm before and they can do it again. Maybe this time if it happens (which appears to be the 5th time), we can all come out stronger and smarter.

I've been keeping an eye on this and I was on edge 23-28th. But I guess I'll have to prepare again, I've been going through the motions but with the dull slowness that comes with thinking it won't happen.
I just have one question. I made a thread on how to prepare for the 27th assuming it'd be a solar storm. Everyone says it's no biggy just takes out power.. So what I wanna know is:
If it's no danger and will just destroy power and infrastructure, why is everyone and TPTB hiding underground?
Will there be x rays or gamma rays or something? How do I prepare for it?

I didn't author this thread. The news is saying we might have 'mass chaos'. Take it up with them or, spend less time here. .

You realize without the power grid, many people would die.
