Description

A solar storm has just impacted Earth that's been one of the strongest in the last 20 years, with an immediate G4 geomagnetic storm starting whilst a S4 radiation was already blasting the Earth with high-energy solar particles. With bulk solar wind velocity greater than 1000 km/s and magnetic field values currently creater than 60 nT, this is a near-Carrington level impact and certainly a historic solar storm. Geophysicist Stefan Burns forecasting this possibility more than a year in advance based on the latest space science and more, and now he reports for you LIVE on the current historic space weather.

Just had 5 earthquakes in Indio, CA. Came here to see if you're talking about it and YES. Boom shakalaka

I was out collecting Selenite crystals when this storm hit. I could feel the crystals vibrating. We found selenite veins and they litterally felt like they were sparking me with energy. The Earth resonance is wild! Grateful that we were given the heads up and we knew to pick the right activity. Hands and full body connected to Earth. (And Selenite is amazing medicine for radiation issues.) Much gratitude for you Stefan!!! ❤🙏🙏🙏

Hey everyone, I discussed why I am calling this a "near Carrington level solar storm" in the video, and here is the TLDR: The strength estimate for the solar flare responsible for the Carrington event is A) a reconstructed estimate, so we don't know what X-level it actually reached and B) the strength of a solar flare =/= the strength, size, or magnetic field configuration of a coronal mass ejection IF one is launched. The Carrington Event CME was faster than this solar storm, but the total magnetic field strength for this storm did reach comparable levels at 90 nT for Bt. If the field for this storm had been sustained southward -Bz instead of +Bz, we would've had the strongest solar storm of solar cycle 25 and perhaps the strongest since 1989. GPS likely would have gone down, aurora down to the equator, widespread radio blackouts. Was this storm a Carrington level impact? No. Near Carrington level? Yes Follow me on X for more updates https://x.com/StefanBurnsGeo/status/2013463112913932609

Funny how they brought the astronauts down from the space station just a few days before. Like they knew...
