"If you can imagine a space weather storm strong enough to knock out power from New York down to the Carolinas for weeks, that's not 'a bad day' anymore. That's a national security risk," said Bryan Brasher, Project Manager at the Space Weather Prediction Center for NOAA.
"If a massive geomagnetic storm like the Carrington Event were to happen today, it could interfere with radio communications, GPS signals, spacecraft operations, pipelines, and railroads," Brasher warned.
