NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center Site Goes Offline As Public Seeks Answers On G3 Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch
A strong geomagnetic storm watch has been issued by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center. The watch is in effect for today October 30 and tomorrow the 31st. Due to all the people trying to read up on the solar flare, the Space Weather Prediction Center’s web site was knocked offline and still remains inaccessible as of early Saturday afternoon.
We took some screenshots of the storm watch before their site went down, however. Link in the description to view them and read more about this strange phenomenon. Some are comparing it to 1859’s historic solar flare, which disrupted telegraph and other electrical systems around the world.
Today, a solar flare like the one back in 1859 could cause disruption to flights, could disrupt vehicles, and may fry parts of the power grid. Time will tell if anything happens, but at least a watch has been issued so people have time to prepare their electrical systems.
Update- NOAA SWPC web site is back online
