The whole thought about being a doomsday prepper is unnerving. It is much easier to just go into a state of ignorance where you don't think about all of the horrible things that can ultimately affect the immediate survival of you and your loved ones.
But the threats are real and it is a good idea to be prepared for catastrophes that could happen at anytime. Below are some of the things you should be aware of if a large solar flare, which is overdue, hits the earth. A solar flare is a huge ejection of energy and particles from the sun into space. They can be very large and greatly affect the earth. Small flares have hit the earth recently in past years.
A large solar flare known as a "Coronal Mass Ejection" can send a huge quantity of radiation into our atmosphere which would then affect our atmosphere by pulling electrons out of atom particles. When this happens, it creates a huge Electromagnetic Pulse which could potentially knock out all of the power on planet Earth.
In 1859 a very large Coronal Mass Ejection hit the earth and caused telegraph systems in Europe and the United States to fail and some telegraph operators were even shocked. This occurrence was known as the "Carrington Event" and if one this large occurred today it would have grave results on the power grid.
Unfortunately, we are overdue for an event like the Carrington. One almost hit the United States on July 23, 2012 but missed us. It took until April 28, 2014 for NASA to release this information to the public. What does that mean? The government is not going to warn us before it happens. And if they do, it is going to be too late to go to the stores and get supplies to tie you over until the power comes back on weeks or maybe months later.
In 1989, a smaller solar storm hit Quebec in Canada and knocked their power out for approximately 9 hours. It only took the solar hit 2 minutes to wipe out Quebec's power grid. New York Power was affected also but not nearly as severe.
Some people go crazy when the power goes out and as a prepper you should prepare for this. On July 13 and 14 of 1977, New York City lost their power but not due to a solar storm. Many people took to the streets and there was widespread looting and rioting. Can you imagine what would happen if the power goes out for days across different countries?
