Dazzling #SolarStorm Tested #PowerGrids. Data Suggests More Are Coming.
Recent solar storms brought pretty lights to night sky in some parts of country, but they can also bring challenges to the power grid. While no significant failures were reported, there is potential for these surges to cause major damage. The last time a storm this strong struck Earth, there were power outages in Sweden and damage in South Africa, according to the US Space Weather Prediction Center.
