Electro-Magnetic storm to hit Earth today.

According to a CBC article that I read this morning,Friday, Oct 24, a strong electro-magnetic storm will reach the Earth sometime today. A large sunspot discharge, called a "Coronal Mass Ejection(CME)" was released on Wednesday, and will hit earth today. According to scientists, this is the largest CME in years, and could cause damage to communications satellites, cell phone infrastructure, possibly power grids, and other electrical interference or damage. The last large CME did cause satellite damage.

I just report this so that interested people may take precautionary action to safeguard their systems from any possible effects by this CME. It may be prudent to disconnect your sensitive electronics from the wall, and temporarily disconnect your antenna wiring until this passes by.

It may not damage the equipment, but scientists believe that damage may be possible, so it may be better to be safe than sorry.

Heads up.

My system was fine until about 3:25 PM Central time. I was playing my new amps, listening for improvements when a voice came through my speakers........

“People of Earth, you must stop your violence, rape of the planet and hatred of all living things or we will intervene.“

I spoke back to the speakers, “Hey you, what do you mean intervene”

“If you do not stop the violence, we will destroy 80% of the humans on your planet by midnight tonight.”

I said, “Great, more vinyl and tubes for me, and cue’d up another song.”

I hope Audiogon members are among the surviving 20%.
