Solar Storm to Hit Earth Today Causing GPS and Radio Disruption::A coronal mass ejection will trigger a geomagnetic storm, which can impact technology and cause the Northern Lights to be seen further south.
I don’t really think this is a matter of “fear mongering”, just warnings of what might happen so people know what to expect. Thankfully, there wasn’t much disruption that we noticed. My Wi-Fi and cell phone signal has been especially crappy today, but that could be unrelated.
Anyway, it’s not like the government had us all running into bunkers or anything. The articles I read simply warned of possible unreliability through the event.
No biggie.
