NOAA Warning: Seven Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are racing towards Earth.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an alert warning of a potential Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm that could impact Earth tonight. A G4 is very rare.

The storm, caused by six streams of plasma ejected from the sun earlier this week, could rival the intensity of the 1859 Carrington event, which disrupted global communications and set telegraph stations on fire.

So, at this late hour, store water, find your candles and matches, unplug your computers, use whatever Faraday bags you have, and get your spiritual house in order.
