“While the event caused some disruption, it was far from deadly” *I bet those birds disagree*
I could believe that he killed one bird, but I doubt the other two would have stuck around after the first shot.
These? 🖕🖕🖕
All they had to do was STFU lol
@@Sashazur shotguns. or whatever guns were used in the 1850s- they would be definitely able to kill a few birds that are close to eachother.
Yeah, they’re sure singing a different tune now.
If anyone finds themselves anxious about the overdue Carrington storm, an event of this size happened in 2012 and missed the earth by 9 days. It could still happen again, but "the big one" isn't necessarily due any day. It made me feel better, I hope it helps you if you need it.
exactly! ive been telling ppl 2012 was a near miss when we talk ab apocalypse scenarios. its surprising not many ppl know. If it happens only a week or so earlier, we'd have quite a huge set back
How did it miss the earth by 9 days? I don’t understand what you mean that. Could you please explain it to me? Thank you
Maybe that was what the Mayan calendar was predicting lol
@@prepperjonpnw6482 the spot of the storm on the sun barely rotated away from earth. if it happens earlier when it wasn't rotated, we wouldve been hit
Yeah ...go look at the sun right now and our 21% diminished magnetic field strength.... problem is today, ALL your " smart " devices WILL catch fire, and we are more due for a charlamagne event... following many Carrington events ,go look at SOHO...then tell me by the way if you haven't noticed this week we got direct shots from CMEs ..3 of them
I love that a random guy who had an inexplicable obsession with staring at the sun cracked the code.
Hardly random, he had an observatory in his house!
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 still, without recording, what are the chances of him witnessing it?
Almost like a cool story, like with the masons
All great discoveries are either divinely inspired or revealed. Think Newton and the famous apple.

The northern lights shining brightly tonight brought me back to this video
It's not done yet, there are more massive sun spots spitting out X-class flares coming in the next month or so.
As an Australian who in the last year who has experienced 1 in 100 year droughts, fires, floods, mouse plague, and pandemic, I am now expecting this in the next few days.
Mouse plague?
Ask the Universe/Nature for a Rain-check! (couldn't resist)!😉 x
@@luvondarox You don't wanna know. Mice have exploded, literally blanketing entire swaths of civilization. They chew people and animals up alive, and can destroy anything in their path. Mice and rats are the worst creatures on the planet, and in large numbers, they can cause widespread devastation.
Don't forget the locust swarm
It seems to be a year for it !
Man, the list of "not if but when" events I have to worry about just keeps growing.
nice pfp
It is what it is
At least we can take a pandemic off the list
Ignorance is bliss.
@@jsteinman tbf a worse one is also not an if but a when.
It is incredible the amount of electricity that was just sort of bouncing around in the atmosphere. The idea of turning something’s power supply off and it just running off what it was conducting from the air is really incredible even if it is kind of terrifying to imagine this happening now
It doesn't bounce. It was a massive stream of charged particles hitting the Earth. Any long piece of wire will act as an antenna and pick up a current induced by the changing magnetic field of such a large current. The bigger the wire, the more it picks up. So telegraph lines, which span hundreds of miles, are able to pick up a very substantial current for as long as those charged particles keep coming.

I think most of us missed the real amazing part of this story. Anyone that can can be half awake and shoot three birds with a pistol is super human.

Wouldn't the other 2 have flown off? Or did they keep coming back wondering what that noise was? 🤣
And American. You know our passion for expressing our anger with guns. Not the smartest thing to do.
@@boa1793 you do realize this was in the 1800's and not yesterday right? It was common for most families to own a firearm back then.
Fun fact: We came extremely close to experiencing a Carrington Level Event in 2012. There was a large coronal mass ejection (CME) on July 23, 2012. It missed the Earth by roughly nine days.
Let's hope that's the one that was due for this century, thanks
For something that is so big, the Earth sure does survive a lot of close calls (e.g. the Shoemaker-Levy comet).
I remember that!
I remember this! Everyone was so freaked out at the thought, but I was 14 so I didn’t understand the severity. Now I’m sat here after seeing my country’s reaction to a pandemic and I’m shitting myself at the thought of another carrington event haha
@@crispylith9558 it would have been, yeah

I remember that. It was, after all, an unforgettable luncheon.
My mother's family settled in West central Wisconsin in the early 1840's. Oral history on that side of the family is there appeared to be two events over the course of several days, one came from the West, the other from the East. One thing is certain. It made a BIG impression on my ancestors.
Please tell us more. this is interesting
Heard of the mudfloods?
@@bobbynuttbutter9554 Mudfloods of Wisconsin?

having social media shut down for a little while would be a blessing for humanity.
We just went through another Carrington level event, unfortunately social media still worked.

I don't think there are any channels where I can say that I've watched every single video. With the exception of Fascinating Horror, of course, which continues to put out compelling and interesting content.
I’ve procrastinated on watching a few and every time I end up watching them I ask myself what took me so long
I woke up at 5am and saw he uploaded and wanted to watch it right then. But my partner would not have enjoyed it as much as me 😂
Agreed. This is the only channel I’ve literally seen every video and eagerly await the new ones.
@@gradeabutt I am still on my way with Fascinating Horror. But at the moment I feel same about Lemmino and BarelySociable :D
Well watch them now before we lose power.
I happened to be sleeping in my car in March 1989, as luck would have it, during the most severe solar storm since The Carrington Event. The light was so bright it woke me up so I could witness the aurora over New Jersey. The reds, blues, and greens were vibrant and lit up the northern and north-western sky. I didn't find out what happened till much later while reading an article about the severity of Quebec's massive blackouts, and how some satellites were disrupted. There was also a space shuttle in orbit at the time that was minimally affected.
satellites are fakery as is the space shuttle, pure nasa bullshit
I remember that! I was in Vermont. It was amazing!

@@keikei3301 ???
Same in California, yes it was awesome
Read the novel "One Second After", a 2009 novel by American writer William R. Forstchen. The novel deals with an unexpected electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States as it affects the people living in and around the small American town of Black Mountain, North Carolina. It's most likely fairly realistic about what would happen with an EMP attack or a Carrington-like Sun event in modern times.
I've read that trilogy twice (One Second After, One Year After, The Final Day). It really made aware of just of fragile our electric system is. It is a great read, although the author seems to lose steam after the first book. That being said, our country is far more prepared for EMP/CME issues than the book would have us believe. I recommend reading some reviews of the book to understand more of that 🙂
theres a good film also called 22 after.
Such a good series 😍😍🤙
I did a research project on solar flares, more specifically The Carrington Event when I was in grade 8 and no one thought it had actually happened! People (including science fair judges & teachers) thought it was just an urban myth, despite the weeks of research I had done and evidence I presented. I am so happy that you have made a video about this, because if something were to occur like this today it would be bad news - that's probably an understatement.
But at least you could say 'I told you so' to those teachers and judges!!
With all the science deniers we have today, Doomsday cults would spring up everywhere!
Yes I had teachers like that. Months of research and a green tick without mostly even a comment good or bad.
@@kevo3341 would the person be able? Or be seen as some psychic who “predicted” an event and want to know what’s gonna happen next?
I never heard of it, and I’ve been around for a long time.
“Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country?” “Yes.”

I just referenced this video last week to my brother who had never heard of the Carrington Event. Low and behind I’m back again after this weekend’s solar storm. So cool.
Yeah, the current solar storm brought me here.
I think this really would just round out everything my generation has had to go through so far. Global pandemic, several global economic collapses, record setting weather and disaster events, let's just go ahead and tack on a decade long vacation into the dark ages. Fantastic.

and we are all going to return to stone age when it happens again.
@@lek0mania more like the dark ages... In the Stone age we would been nicer to each other.
@@NearlyH3adlessNick So being nice to each other is the nature of humans - and killing each other came with civilization? You might want to rethink that, mate.
@@peka__ Nah, sorry I wasn't clear, I just meant war then was a lot less total destruction scorched earth kinda mentality. Killing has been in our blood probably since we dropped the gills, hatred for one another because of physical, cultural and religious differences is a little newer.
They were happy as a lark until they weren’t.
An event that affected the entire planet. Now THATS fascinating horror.
Especially in a time where technology was still underdeveloped and we couldn't communicate worldwide!
An event that can end the planet now as well.
@@miked7212 Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the nightmare fuel Mike. 😂
@@bunnyluver2176 yeah lol try telling that to the US Republicans though. They're the ones mainly that don't want to do ANYTHING about it. Just look at the way US Republicans act because of global warming. They don't care about global warming. They only care about profit at the expense of global warming.
@@miked7212 no such thing as global warming. Its the season's of earth. Won't be the first time nor the last that we got an ice age or whatever happens this time around. Its just how earth evolves over time and it is what it is. We humans really are so arrogant to think this planet needs us and that "climate change"/"global warming"/ whatever, is a bad thing (it is for us tho lol) . Besides this shouldn't be politically charged it should be non-partisan. If u want to say repubs are ignoring this tgen democRATS want to move us into a communism and think the green new deal is actually possible and not a terrible stupid idea . None of this even matters anyway , has nothing to do with our planets weather . U think we in America are so bad huh ? It's funny cuz we are so low on the scale we got nothing even close to the pollution that China , by itself puts out . Ijs
As an electrical engineer, I've always found this event fascinating. I've studied most aspects of it. I can say you've done your homework on the event and it's effects. Everything you said, I can back up. Well done!
Since you seem to know a thing or two about electricity i'd like to know how exactly this would affect a little hobby solar installation like it have it. Panels, solar mttp and normal sealed lead acid batteries. Would it like fry the charge controller because it has ICs? Because i think the panels and batteries are too "stupid"/simple to just stop working.
I accept your challenge - when exactly did the term “carrington Event” become well known?
@@chrisakaschulbus4903 honestly? The best protection is steel reinforced concrete. If properly setup the steel bars ground the incoming energy and stop it from getting inside the building. It's the same principle as a faraday cage. It's a useful side benefit to using metal buildings in some cases.
Isn't the induced voltages & currents on all the power lines going to melt everything even with the power plants offline?
@@chrisakaschulbus4903 I think your main concern would be voltage spikes caused by failures in the power grid. You're shielded from direct radiation effects (the main concern in space) by the atmosphere and you're isolated from magnetically induced DC currents (the main concern down on the ground) by your local distribution transformer. Beware however of phone lines and other wired distribution systems that are not DC-isolated.
I just found your video now. THANK U !! 🙏🌅❤️✝️🛐❤ I have been suffering with chronic headaches and fatigue. I just came out of ICU on the 29th of June (spent 6 days). My BP and the wild pains I had that week were unbearable. And right now, this morning, I woke up to that very same feeling the week of June 29. None of my pain relievers are helping now. Might have to return to the hospital. I hope not. I am relaxing now. And will plug my ears but not before watching this video again and sending it out to everyone. God bless you and your family. 🙏🌅❤️✝️🛐
RIP to the three birds that lost their lives to this phenomenon.
Yeah back when firing a gun in your neighborhood to kill birds and waking up your neighbors with gunfire was normal.
@@Wildstar40 It's still normal today. Just go to Texas.
The jerk that killed the birds is dead now.🤗🤗🤗

Kind of reminds me of the total eclipse that happened in 2017. I was outside at the time, and when totality happened, everything just got weirdly quiet except for the people. Birds went still. Insects fell silent. Even barking dogs went quiet. It was as if a blanket had dropped over everything, muted and stilled everything. It was really bizarre. And for the few minutes of totality, everything was "different" somehow. As the sun came back, things were slow to return to "normal". If I didn't know it was a natural phenomena, it would have been terrifying. As it was, it still gave me goosebumps.
Thankfully I found a website that said what to look for, so as much as I loved the gray sunlight, I saw the 3D snakes everywhere and took 100 pics of this weird half moon repeated everywhere across everything Some weird sun shadows. I had a blast! Sadly I did not think to put my eclipse specs on my phone, so I got the same weird beam sideways across the sun everybody else got. Otherwise it totally rocked!
I bought a lotto ticket during the eclipse, I thought for sure it was auspicious. I did win, but only $8 lol
@@gladitsnotme That's cool. You walked away with more than you started with. No need to get crazy. Lots of people walk away with FAR LESS.. and not always THEIR FUNDS! Oregon has a horrible gambling issue with those machines. They're everywhere.

Phenomenon
This happened again on March 13th, 1989 albeit on a slightly smaller scale. It was however enough to cause major power disruptions in Canada and some other countries closer to the Arctic Circle. During about a 4-5 day period after the Aurora was clearly visible as far south as Florida and Texas. This wasn't on the scale of the Carrington Event but it was an event just the same. Just because the Carrington Event was so bad doesn't mean it's that bad every time it happens. 1989 was proof of that. The 1989 event is also how we came up with that 150 year estimate. The truth is that for a flare to hit us it has to originate from less than .01% of the Sun's surface. What this means is when the sun flares there is less then a 1 in 10,000 chance it will come our way. Also Flares vary greatly in intensity so for that flare to be a Carrington level flare makes it even rarer of an event.
Many have not made the connection yet. But technology has advanced significantly since 1859. On August 28, 1859, telegraph lines went down across America. Literal fire poured from circuits in Pittsburgh. In Washington, D.C., an operator named Frederick W. Royce was severely shocked. Papers caught fire. On Aug. 4, 1972, U.S. military pilots flying south of Haiphong harbor in North Vietnam saw something unexpected. More than two dozen sea mines suddenly-and without apparent explanation-exploding in the water. Can you imagine how this will affect the technology of today? We're not as prepared for this as we should be...
What if it sets off the nuclear bombs across the globe.
@@CL-lo3xr I suspect this will happen all across Asia and Russia. When they ask for help trying to recover we will need to be merciful.
@@CL-lo3xr This happened before: 1405 B.C. - Blackhole sun from from Soundgarden - 1994 - kzhead.info/sun/ZtGbcsZ-f2ucdJ8/bejne.html - kzhead.info/sun/opqpcriegJyAaXA/bejne.html
id be more worried about the urban firestorms from electrical short circuits and ruptured gas lines. The issue of fire will be very immediate, especially in cities based on those historical accounts@@CL-lo3xr
@@CL-lo3xr If there have been repeated CME's, their will be a 'clearance' of space dust allowing a rapid fire CME to take 1/2 half hour to reach us. The means the CME would be coming at the Earth at 1/3rd the speed of light. Whichever side is facing the impact could potentially suffer a major technological failure along the spectrums of all DIGITAL economic structures.
When I was 16 we flew over the North Pole and got a great view of the northern lights. It was an incredible experience, but I knew what it was. I can only imagine if that showed up for a week over my small Georgia town in the 1800s. No doubt a lot of Bible reading cramming for finals.
"cramming for finals" omg
well said
It didn't affect the electronics of the plane?
finals 😆😆
Bs. Commercial flights dont go over the north pole
"We are... overdue." Oooh, no, I don't like that. .-.
"In a worst case scenario where we fail to prepare..." Oooh, okay so this is what's going to REALLY happen
if it makes you feel any better, we're also like a hundred thousand years overdue for the magnetic poles to completely shut off for several millennia to allow Earth's magnetic shield to recharge while the magnetic poles reverse polarity.
@@FizzieWebb And at some point now, the supervolcano at Yellowstone is supposed to erupt. I'd rather die by natural disaster than because of say, someone stabbing or shooting me because I insulted them or they were just racist/sexist.

@@greenapple9477 Also, aren't we also overdue for a large asteroid?
That sentence... "We are, by some measures, overdue" gave me CHILLS more than any other video I've seen in years. Great video! Love all your videos.

We just had a smaller level event in early 2023
We just had a solar flare like a few months ago to a year. I remember my astronomy teacher in college telling us that electrical equipment can fail and act weird during the flare and electrical storms can pop-up (I live by Tampa, lightning capital of the world.) I find this stuff fascinating, although it is not my major, I'm glad I took that class.
Birds: [tweet] "So anyways, I started blastin'..."
Some guy: "... and I took that personally."
LMAO
Fascinating horror: We are due for this potentially apocalyptic event to occur KZhead comments:
Just a note: the aurora are not _both_ referred to as "Aurora Borealis." AKA "Northern Lights." That's only for the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere's aurora is the Aurora Australis, or "Southern Lights." The Aurora Borealis is more famous, but that's largely because it's more accessible. The Australis is mostly only visible in Antarctica and a few places in southernmost Australia or Tasmania.
Educational and informative
I was going to comment this info, glad I'm not the only one that knows of the Southern Lights. I'm a fan of Auroras in general, I think it's really cool that other astrological bodies/planets have them as well. Seems kinda obvious that they wouldn't be unique to Earth, but I really want to see how they manifest, if/how they differ in color spectrum than Earth's Aurora events.
@@angelicaapperson950 Sorta make the general lack of progress in spaceflight really frustrating, doesn't it? Sure, we might be able to see it in a picture from a probe, but it's a whole different thing to see it in person.

This is one of the first videos that I found of yours, a while back. I enjoy your videos. And thank you for introducing me to The Magnus Archives. They do a great job setting an eerie stage.
"We are, by some measures, overdue". Love the spooky energy!
When I left my house this morning I couldn't help but feel like I was missing something and now I know what it was, my existential dread
If it helps, there are places that regularly monitor this kind of activity, known as "space weather". You can even find forecasts with a quick search.
Yep we are one failing magnetosphere away from cooking everything off this planet.
Don’t leave home without it.
I think I found yours.
A solar event that breaks the wifi is a much more terrifying proposition than almost everything else you’ve ever covered
That and everyone losing the ability to get access to their money in their bank account, all at the same time. People will be losing their sanity.
@@kyliepechler If it's bad enough, a flare could erase all the servers where those bank records are stored. No one will have any money since 99% of it exists only digitally.
@@fattiger6957 oh, that is scary
Electric cars will be useless if they can't recharge. Petrol pumps won't work. Forget computers, for entertainment we can look at the pretty sky instead. Don't expect to buy food because cash registers won't work. Woke people will have to give up being woke because they of all people will be amongst the most helpless and need others for support. Sounds interesting. People who suffer from depression will stop because suddenly the world has become interesting and challenging.
@@SigrunHT What an interesting plcture you paint, by the way you forgot about cannibalism, plenty of food about eh !.
I think the game The Long Dark has a Carrington Event as the disaster that sets the events of the game in motion. The event shuts down most electronics and a major snowstorm blocks roads and traintracks in the canadian wilderness that this game takes place. On certain nights the sky is illumated by northern lights and lights and radios in the abdandonned houses start on their own.
spot-on assessment
Is it a video game
There was actually a flare roughly equal to the Carrington event back in December of 2012 (Mayan non-apocalypse timeframe). Good news, it missed us by one week. If it had erupted one week earlier it would’ve hit earth. (Cue spooky music)
Hey, Fascinating Horror, I know you probably get tons of requests and you probably won't see this, but I'd like to suggest the New London school explosion that happened in Texas. It happened not far from the town I grew up in but barely anyone knows about it, I would love to see you cover it and maybe bring some recognition for the victims?
I'm from connecticut, never heard of it but I would like to see it covered. So important to remember the victims, hope he considers doing it!
if you really want him to see this send him an email instead
Yeah, send him an email. He will get back to you. It’s in the description
There''s a book about that, "Gone at 3;17." What a sad and terrible tragedy. It's the reason residential natural gas now has a that foul odor added to it.
check out the Bath Michigan Schoolhouse disaster
"We are, by some measures, overdue." It's weird how this seems to be the case with regard to *many* potentially disastrous phenomena, such as the eruption of certain supervolcanoes and the reversal of the magnetic poles. It almost feels like we're being set up for *all* the S to HTF at once. But what a glorious drama that would be.
its overdue but most of these cataclysmic events have a rough "due date" and its usually placed within brackets of one hundred thousand plus years, in which our lifetimes are drops
it's all fear mongering, overdue means sometime in the next 10,000 years, and these events are exaggerated
@@AverageAlien not really tho
You have to keep in mind that scientists think in centuries and eons, and not weeks/months/years/decades.
@@fruub depends what kind of scientist 😜
How is it that I'm a few weeks from my 51st birthday and never heard about this event until now? I've taken astronomy courses in college as well as half a dozen science courses in middle and high school, and have watched so many videos about other 'space' phenomena like eclipses and auroras. This event was witnessed worldwide. And while it happened eight years before the birth of Laura Ingalls Wilder, my favorite author from childhood, her father never mentioned it in the stories he loved to tell about his youth (and which were a big part of Wilder's series about her own youth). Given the era, no wonder people feared it was a sign of the End Times.
It’s fascinating how different a Carrington event affects humanity at different points of history.
pre-electricity is was just a pretty show that at worst disturbed some people's sleep but now it would be total societal collapse.
Caveman: time to ug hunting…. greeks: Titans and gods fighting. Christians: let there be light! Aztecs: time to start sacrificing! Egyptians: aliens! 😂
Sadly, I have little hope in a worldwide coordinated response that would result in the best case scenario. It would be an absolute cluster f*** hampered by bickering politicians trying to figure out how they can benefit most from the disaster.
Don't expect much help from the US. Their President can barely tie his own shoe laces.
That hardly sets him apart from the last half a dozen or so. (Obama was a different story, I guess). It is a bit of a worry how there's so little pretence, even, that their function has any meaning any more though. I honestly have the feeling that, regardless of all our technological advances (including those which are killing us), the level of corruption and dumbassery today means that we're *less* well-placed to cope with any serious natural disaster than we were 200 years ago. We're probably just going to have to hope that the general instinct for survival is stronger than the 'elite's' instinct for endless avoidance of responsibility and rewarding themselves for failure...
Sounds familiar.
@@Microtherion "Obama was a different story, I guess". I guess you're right. Anyone who can get a Nobel Peace Prize for merely being elected President must be as awesome as he thinks he is.
@@JoseyWales44s Lol. I'm guessing you're a Republican, but actually that's perfectly true. He was in the middle of bombing the crap out of Pakistan - which is a *U.S. ally*. When you can wage open warfare on your own allies, and over 90 per cent of the casualties are civilians, and you still get the Nobel Peace Prize, something's not quite right, is it? (I said he didn't have dementia, and was even quite bright - I certainly didn't say he was doing really good things...)
Seeing how this pandemic has been handled, I don’t feel good about a Carrington level event happening at all.
Trump would call it a hoax. And when it was clear its not a hoax, his minions would claim he never said that.
@@tindaloxxii6513 - exactly - because politics has nothing to do with how the world runs and how major threats and crises are handled. PS. I'm guessing you made your overly sensitive comment because you realised you bet on the wrong horse but can't quite look yourself in the eye and admit you you were conned - so the natural response is to get defensive. I want to tell you that it's ok - you were sick of liars - we all were - so you rolled the dice on a bullshitter. Perfectly natural Even though it nearly ended up destroying the country
@@5ynthesizerpatel Who ended up almost destroying the country? It was the governors with the endless lock downs that are reeking havoc on the economy. It was congress that passed the idiotic stimulus bills. Yes I know that Trump signed 2 out of the 3 bills. It was Joe that signed that last and least necessary bill with so much pork in it and had little to do with covid. Only 10% of the last bill had anything to do with covid. Lastly blame the American people demanding the stupid bills. We are at fault for tearing down our economy. There is no such thing as free money. Lastly, if Trump lied so much, name 5 big lies he made. I do not want to hear opinions he had like covid would disappear by April, that is an opinion. I also do not want to hear about puffery he said. I want big real lies. The press and the dems lied like hell. Russia gate, Covington kids and more.
@Ronald 240Bravo thank god. Imagine if we did have a minor event with Trump. He would call it a hoax.
@@TheLittlered1961 There are so, so many to choose from, but here is a random assortment of the first that come to mind: 1) Trump repeatedly took credit for the Veterans Choice program. He touted this "accomplishment" countless times during his 2020 campaigning, going so far as saying that the then-deceased Vietnam vet John McCain failed to get the bill passed, and that Trump himself succeeded at passing it. In reality, John McCain was the key Republican Senator behind the Veterans Choice bill, which passed in 2014 and was signed into law by Obama. 2) Trump claimed countless times that he had a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) and that he would always protect people with pre-existing conditions. In reality, his administration advanced a lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court that specifically argued that the ACA's protection for people with pre-existing conditions was unconstitutional and should be voided. In his entire four year term, he never once produced even an inkling of a healthcare plan to replace that protection. 3) Trump incorrectly claimed that Alabama was was likely to be hit by Hurricane Dorian, when the state had already bern ruled out of all forecast predictions. NOAA had to issue a public statement advising panicked residents of Alabama that they were, in fact, not in danger. This would have been an innocent mistake (albeit the kind a President should never make), had he admitted his error and corrected himself. Instead he doubled down on his false claim, hosting a national press event where he presented a printed NOAA forecast map that had been modified with a Sharpie to show Alabama inside the forecast path. This sort of tampering with and presentation of falsified weather forecast documents is a crime, and he committed it in front of a national audience. Trump then ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction from NOAA for their public statement that had corrected his original false claim. After this political pressure, NOAA did publish an unsigned letter in support of Trumps claim, which directly contradicted their original statement. This prompted an outcry from meteorologists and multiple formal investigations by NWS which found that two NOAA administrators had twice violated the organization's scientific integrity policy by issuing the retraction statement. I won't go into the multiple false claims that he repeated many times regarding Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico, but I urge you to Google it. 4) Trump repeated a variety of false claims about his administration's tax bills. He frequently claimed that he "eliminated the estate tax", claiming that this would substantially benefit family farms and small businesses, which was not true. His tax law simply raised the threshold at which the tax was incurred. And even before his law, only 0.15% of estate tax revenue was paid by family farms and small businesses. He also claimed that his tax changes saved people making 75,000 per year saved an average of $2000 in federal tax. In reality the average was about $800, and about 9% of households in that salary range ended up owing MORE in taxes as a result of his tax law changes. 5) "No quid pro quo", "it was a perfect call", and Trump's many other denials that he had pressured top Ukrainian officials to investigate his political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter, including ousting the appointed US ambassador Marie Yovanavich. This includes a litany of violations of his oath of office and false statements regarding investigations into Burisma, Trump's overseeing of the efforts of Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman and Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine, the withholding of millions of dollars in congressionally-designated support funds from Ukraine in exchange for political favors, sharing of classified national security information with Russian diplomats, an attempted cover-up of official conversations with foreign leaders in which Trump attempted to advance corrupt arrangements, and his violation of whistleblower protection policies. This stuff has all been investigated thoroughly at this point (which wasnt hard because a president's actions and statements are almost all documented and archived for the official records), and a highly detailed timeline of events can be found at just security dot org. These are not partisan allegations, they are established, documented facts. And this is just the tip of a very very deep iceberg.
So also called as the "carrington effect" in terms of thermonuclear weapons are also known as "mesons resonance" widely known effect created by the prolonged nuclear synthesis during H-bombs detonation. Being much heavier by consiquances than "ordinary" EMP it's literally stops the electric current due overloading by heavy protons combining with superheavy electrons and fast neutrons. During testing like "Castle Bravo"(USA) and testing in 1961 on archipelago of Novaya Zemlya in USSR both times such "side effect" was also registered in different regions across the world.
I’m exited for another one of these events. A once in a lifetime experience would it be.
It’ll be beautiful, but it’ll also mean global power outages and catastrophic damage. Not fun.
Could you imagine failing to prepare for a foreseeable catastrophic event and being kept in the dark for months on end, unaware of its severity until it's too late? Golly I sure hope nothing like that happens to us any time soon 😬
The Texas Arctic Storm, "Hold my drink."
Nearly happened to Texas. We were literally minutes away from a total shutdown for months. Despite being warned years ago. Fascinating Horror, I guess you've got a topic here you can use in the future.
Heh.
The phrase "we're overdue" stopped being scary when I realized just how many things we are "overdue" for. Almost like not every single thing in the universe runs on an atomic clock. We're not overdue, it will happen eventually no matter what, whether that was 2 years after the event or 200.
I prefer to think of it as we've been really really really lucky the past 10,000 years overall. Cause everything will eventually try to kill us but in general we've just been super lucky to be mostly left alone in ways it matters and it's allowed us to thrive as a species. As with all good things they eventually come to an end and will...someday...but not today so yay for today! Lol

Small correction but you can safely say aurora - aurora borealis is northern lights and aurora australis is the southern lights. Just say aurora it refers to the phenomenon as a whole rather than a specific region.
Yes we experience aurora borealis here in Canada.
_Aurora Polaris_ encompasses them both, as per my nicely ignored comment!
While southern Australia and Tasmania are much more in line (more closely located) with the geomagnetic south pole, the Aurora Australias is also visible in southern Patagonia - southern Argentina and Chile. It's interesting: even though Patagonia is much farther south than Tasmania, the geomagnetic pole is almost perfectly aligned on the Antarctic coast between the south pole and Tasmania, thus putting it at least 25 degrees closer to the geomagnetic pole than Patagonia. Also worth noting that the geomagnetic poles - around which the auroral bands organize - are different and separate from the magnetic poles.
A teacher of mine actually told me about this event, it was one of those days were I really felt the old adage of ignorance is bliss.
2:18 "Many people rose from their beds thinking that dawn had arrived." I assume they very happily went back to bed when they realised they had a few hours left. Bonus!
How many people had household clocks in 1856? Very few. They didn't come about until late in the industrial revolution. Before then, they were hand-made and expensive. All the average person would have known was the sky was lit, as if dawning, and then went dark but no storm. That would have been very worrying, not the trigger for more sleep. Plus their internal clocks biologically would have told them it was wrong.

Have you seen how electrical cables are so incredibly entangled on some countries around the world?!?!?!?. Imagine the fire storms??????
"Airplanes will be grounded..." Let's hope before the event, and not directly from the sky. 😬
A Carrington-type event fries all electronic/electrical circuits, so as long as airplanes don't need electronics, or gages, or radar, or ground control, they'll be fine. Well, as long as the thousands of miles of wiring in jetliners doesn't short out like telegraph wires, especially near any fuel tanks. Note to self: never fly on a jetliner again.
@@gsdalpha1358 Modern cars are also very dependent on computerized components. If a solar flare hits, drivers will lose control and smash into each other.
@@fattiger6957 We had a control module chip go bad, and the car just shut off without warning. Luckily we were't going fast and were able to stop without power steering. We could still sort of steer but it was like pushing a log through dense mud. Brakes worked, doubt if ABS would - again, lucky we weren't on an interstate. But, yeah, all those drivers with the IQ of a rock would be so busy freaking and trying to restart their cars, they'd just plow into anything in their way.
@@fattiger6957 At least a car is ALREADY on the ground...
@Its me or whatever Uh, no. To glide takes flaps, altimeter, air speed, angle of descent, rudder, GPS (terrain advice, highway locations, etc). Assuming you somehow touch down, where's the reverse thrust and braking? Anymore, pilots have little emergency or even real flying experience - the auto-pilot does everything. A passenger jet without electronics is basically a rock.
"With preparation we can avoid the worst." *Looks back at what happened last year* "...We'd be deeply screwed."
Because it requires money, and they never want to spend money until tragedy strikes. Look at Texas earlier this year. They were warned years ago and did nothing.
I'm actually listening to an audiobook right now that is about a fictitious similar event in the modern world.

@@YuumiGamer1243, it's called 'After Sundown' and was written by Linda Howard.
One days' notice?!?! In America, preparation for a Carrington Event would require 10 committee meetings, 200 hours of debates, 4 votes, a filibuster, and the decided-upon solution would be to condemn the sun for it's actions... (and before anyone gets butthurt, I am an American!)
I am currently living in Tulsa, Oklahoma and have been affected by a power outage that some estimates are giving about a week for the duration at longest. This video instantly came to my mind. Everyone is losing their shit at the prospect. We still have running water, but I don't think we would if we had one of these go down and didn't prepare properly. Imagine that, will ya?
Assumed intervals between Carrington Events: If this interval is about 150 years, the one before the 1859 event should have taken place sometimes at the end of the 1600s and the beginning of the 1700s. Well within recorded history. Is there any evidence (written reports, paintings) that such an event actually took place around this time? If not, how do scientests arrive at the value of 150 years between these events?
"a swift, well coordinated response" so we're screwed, is what you're saying.
Faraday cages are pretty useful for saving electronics.
You are screwed if you live within reach of a nuclear reactor! With it's computers taken out! There's going to be a lot of countries that are going to be turned into a wasteland! It's one thing to get a country re-started after such an event which is going to be bad enough as it is! But a nuclear disaster clean up is going to take much longer! I could be wrong but I believe that Fukashima is still being cleaned up today! And even after all the so called cleaning, I wouldn't trust raising children on that land as they are the most susceptible to radioactive radiation! Let's just hope that this day never comes!

It still amazes me how a director like Roland Emmerich, who specialises in doomsday scenarios, still thinks it’s more plausible to scare people with an ancient Mayan calendar or the god damn moon colliding with earth, than a modern day Carrington event; a scenario which is just around the corner, statistically speaking.
Where is the evidence the same happened in 1700? In 1550? In 1400? In 1250? The speculation is too conveniently ominous. No reference or evidence was presented other than "some" estimates. The whole planet seeing aurora at the same time would be present in the annals of many countries from those eras. Where is that evidence?
The moon is supposed to "wobble" in the 2030s so expect massive tide disruption then.
@@borderlineiq It can be tricky to link up things in the historical record with phenomena like the Carrington event, especially since how strong they are might affect how they are experienced. There are lots of historical records of "something weird happened", but what was the cause? A supervolcano on the other side of the world? A meteorite? Solar flares? Or something totally different? On the scientific side, researchers have been trying to find a reliable kind of physical evidence of Carrington-style events. Based on tree-ring evidence, there probably was one around 775CE, and another around 993CE. But it's hard to tell what level of event would actually be identifiable through this method. And, of course, it's possible for one of these events to happen, but miss the earth (like what happened in July 2012), in which case there would be no records. There's some links under "other evidence" on the wikipedia page, if you're interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

It has been estimated that if the US went without electricity for a year, 90% of the population would die. No refrigeration, no emergency services, no communication, no water ( many cities depend on pumps to get water to homes), no A/C, no heat, no sanitation, no medical care.... Eventually people begin to starve, then the wolves come out. Most of the population is completely incapable of fending for themselves Scary stuff. I highly recommend the book One Second After.
From a labouring job I did in my teens, I know that a lot of military electronics are protected in EMP proof buildings. I wonder how these would be effected in a Carrington Event.

Taking a power grid offline and restoring its capabilities is incredibly difficult and can be destructive. Since the power we use is alternating current, power plants must produce power at a frequency of 60hz or +/- variations of no more than 4hz I believe it is. Anything more or less than that and a power plant will go offline. Bringing it back online is not an easy task and must be done in stages, almost synchronized with the rest of the grid.

Putting electricals off line won't stop a Carrington event from destroying it. The Carrington event that was a solar flare is highly electrical and will destroy just about anything with electronic parts inside connected or not! The only way you might have a chance of saving anything is in a Faraday cage.
Now, I'm no rocket surgeon, or even a brain scientist, but could this event have been connected in any way to the setting up and/or inception of the "matrix" that we could possibly be part of now? I'd be very interested to know what the weather patterns were like after this event.

Trouble is, she's not wrong. At all. Our sun is capable of flaring at far higher levels than the Carrington Event. Our magnetic shield has decreased by 25% since 1859. Both north and south magnetic poles are on the move. It WILL be the end of the world as we know it. Power is not coming back, not after a week, not after 10 years, NOT AT ALL. And as someone said above, worst thing is that this is just a normal event in the cycle of or planet.

July 2012 it was visible in Central Arkansas (south central USA) as a deep green glow with hints of red here and there. It's wasn't the dancing lights we all want to see, but it was still amazing. I didn't sleep that night. I wish I had thought to take pics.
I was reading the wiki about the Carrington event and it linked to a similar event that happened in 2012, in that case there was a large CME aswell, however it missed the earth by approximately 9 days, meaning the sun wasn't facing towards earth when it happened, so it missed us thankfully. It also fits in the time line of a CME of that scale occurring every 150 years. Take a look at "the solar storm of 2012".
