Solar Flares Arriving on Earth

We have been watching for an increase in solar flare disruptions....because we realize how significant electricity is to America's way of life.  What??  No cell phones?  No laptops?  No hot coffee?  No cash machines?  No lights to keep away looters?

So this headline today is interesting...and further foreshadowing of what may happen if an extreme flare from an increasingly violent sun were to disrupt planet earth.

Effects of solar flares arriving on Earth       

WASHINGTON — The impact of a series of eruptions on the sun began arriving at Earth on Friday and could affect some communications for a day or so.  

 Operators of electrical grids are working to avoid outages, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says some satellite communications and Global Positioning Systems could face problems.

The magnetic blasts, which Bogdan likened to a tsunami in space, can also affect electronic communications and electrical systems. A 1989 solar flare knocked out the electrical systems in Quebec, Canada, but the current solar storm is not expected to be that powerful. On a scale of 1 to 5, he said, it is probably a 2 or 3.

But more significant solar storms are expected in the next few years, he said.

With heat raging at record levels all over the USA and power companies already scrambling to avoid black outs from an overtaxed electrical grid...we DO NOT need another fly in the ointment.

When will mankind realize that he is in control of nothing?  We need God to send the rain, stop the asteroids, calm the sun, stop the floods, keep the financial system intact, quell the earthquakes, etc...  We are only here on earth as long as He allows.
