An EMP Missing By TWO WEEKS Is NOT a Near MissChris Carrington I was shocked yesterday to see reports of a Carrington-class event that occurred two weeks ago. I trawled the NASA and NOAA sites looking for what I had missed. I had missed nothing, there was no such event. A report on spaceweather.com this morning says: Many readers are asking about a report in the Washington Examiner, which states that a Carrington-class solar storm narrowly missed Earth two weeks ago. There was no Carrington-class solar storm two weeks ago. On the contrary, solar activity was low throughout the month of July. The report is erroneous. The possibility of such a storm is, however, worth thinking about: A modern Carrington event would cause significant damage to our high-tech society. Heres what Jim Woolsey has to say. The sunspot count today is a low 88 with an estimated 10% chance of an M-class flare during the next 24 hours. A coronal hole is sending out a solar wind that will brush the Earths magnetic field on August 3rd-4th.
