Nice.
Also something tells me this is just the first storm of many to come and they're going to get worse over June.

>>16170023
Well that's assuming you aren't homeless yourself at that stage.

>>16170029
worse? maybe. this year is the peak of the 11 year solar cycle, so it'll definitely be above average.

>I drove from AZ to AK and caught it
You drove to Alaska?

>>16170027
it feels like I'm staring at a toaster oven waiting for my pizza rolls to cook, or sitting too close to a campfire, except the heat permeates the air and there is nowhere to hide. I look up at the sun and yell IS THIS THE BEST YOU GOT? Get in my black sedan after baking all day, 150°F inside. I burn myself on my seatbelt buckle. This happens every year!

>>16170034
I drove to Little Rock, Alaska

#wenhop?

Humans are not supposed to live in Arizona. I've been there, I can tell. The state hasn't been terraformed yet.

>>16170031
Then max was predicted June.
I think the timing is right, but the magnitude is somehow completely off.
SC25 should have been weaker than SC24 and it has already been stronger for some time before this storm.
So the fact that this storm happened near the max suggests that it's merely the magnitude that was wrong.

>The state hasn't been terraformed yet.
You have more chance of living on Mars than Phoenix Arizona.
It's just a fact.

Can the storm set off smoke alarms? Mine's gone off a couple of times today for no reason.

>>16170047
These are pretty regular though.

>>16170049
Without an air-conditioned vehicle I was forced to flee that place after nightfall, when the temperature dipped all the way down to 85*F.
Arizona must be terraformed in order for humans to reasonably live there, scuttling from air conditioned box to air conditioned box in air conditioned vehicles is scarcely different than living on the moon as it is.

>>16170062
I wonder if it could impact the air quality near smoke alarms?
I doubt that.
But it might affect the electricals. I've heard a few alarms already around me go off. Kinda cool.

I don't remember that happening in 2003, which is worrying. 2003 was bigger.

>>16170063
Not anywhere near this scale. There's usually just a blob of yellow and red somewhere. This time it's more a case of what areas aren't affected

Getting a mild headache. Maybe it does affect EM/radio frequencies enough to cause a very mild headache. Gonna assume placebo, but if not - honestly more than I thought would happen with that shit.

Though air inversions cause much much worse issues and it's always the lower EM freqs (not 5G) that cause issues. I don't know why people assume it's the higher freqs that are the problem. The lower freq can penetrate things much much more.
You have to have your head next to a 5G transmitter to cause problems to your health.

>now bluetooth on the other hand...

noticed my lights briefliy blinking twice now already, power grid must be strained

GOES WEATHER SATELLITES ABOUT TO SURPASS WARNING THRESHOLD!!

fffffuck I can't believe we reached G5

>>16170070
Nah I've seen it like that before a few times. That might be the worst I've seen it though.

last 3 digits of my post are how many Starlinks SpaceX loses to this storm

>>16170097
Wew, ok this might fuck some sats up.
Didn't some fail with a lesser storm recently?

>>16170104
yes specifically ones that were just launched a day or so before the G2 storm in Feb 2022, thankfully SpaceX wouldn't do something so silly as that again now would th

>aurora has been seen in southern texas
>mfw its thick ass clouds outside
cant see shit

Hang on, if protons are only just now coming in, was that just the beginning?
Jesus Christ what is happening. This makes no sense. None of them were X10+

>>16170099
I honestly thought solar max was like 3 months ago.
I couldn't have been more wrong and I think this party might just be starting.

NASAs prediction got the timing right, but definitely not the magnitude. It's so off it's ridiculous.

we're moving up!

>>16170097
oooh it got close

>Literally stops at the border of Mexico
Se acabó

if the moon had a magnetic core then we'd see lunar aurora from the earth...

>>16170120
damn

>>16170118
it respects the border wall, unlike some people

big if true

I was gonna write you off as full of shit but now I know you're telling the truth

yeah im thinking this storm is kino

>>16170118
That was a conservative forecast. People have been seeing things overhead as far south as the Bahamas.

>>16170136
I only saw it about 10-15 degrees above the horizon in north texas :(

>>16170129
kek

the sky is a bit green and red, cool I guess

>>16170158
SHUT UP IM TOO FAR SOUTH AND ITS TOO CLOUDY SO I DIDNT SEE IT

isn't it a new moon right now? they'd be shadowed by the moon

Well just fucking have permanent ethernet connection nodes everywhere at that stage.
What's the fucking point? kek

Given the size these things are meant to be I think an opening big enough for a helicopter would be so relatively small it wouldn't affect anything. You could even make it an simple airlock to stop as much heat leaving when you open it to the outside (but again it probably wouldn't really matter that much relatively)
