    About that Quebec super storm, I was a little north of Quebec City in a remote ski station with a group of youth, and that night we saw the most amazing aurora I've ever seen. I'm originally from Northern Quebec, so I saw many auroras, but it's mostly green even at that latitude, you rarely see other colors. But that night, it filled the entire sky, had multiple colors and there were waves covering entire quadrants from the sky. That was in winter with temperatures around -10 C and we stood there for at least 30 minutes with our pyjamas and coats to look at the sky.

      They still had less safety then, no precautions in case of electrical surge that I can think of and probably exposed wires maybe even touching wood. I imagine that today there would not be as many fires, but the potentially permanent damage to basically anything electronic would be crippling on its own, and even a few fires along with that would be a mess as the fire department would not be able to find them all unless they are in cities, as phones would not be working.
      And that's the optimistic approach.

      The danger is probably a lot less for any newer home/building that was built to the latest safety codes. The real danger is all the really old homes out there that were built to outdated safety codes or didn't follow any codes at all. There are tons and tons of buildings and homes out there that were built by people's grandfathers before building codes even existed, or just never followed them.

    I was living in Quebec in 1989 when the electricity went out. When the electric company said it was due to "solar flares" we all collectively rolled our eyes, thinking: "sure, it was the sun's fault that you can't run an electric company". Fortunately it was in the summer and only lasted for half a day.
    But ten years later a freak January storm brought down power lines all over Quebec and some cities had no electricity for 3-4 weeks. Having millions of people without heat and power in the middle of Canadian winter was no joke. Thankfully there were very few deaths, as electric companies all over North America sent repair crews to help us. But if all of North America's electric grid went down one winter due to a solar flare, I shudder to think how bad it would be.

    I am sooooooo excited that you said there was electrical disruption in 1989! Back then I lived in a very small country town near Wagga Wagga, in Australia. One night in 1989 I was outside sitting on our front step when I looked up at the stars and saw red colour in the sky. The first and only time I've seen those lights! Only a few years ago I was telling my hairdresser about the light, but she did not believe it was red, that it couldn't be the Aurora and had to be something else. As I was around 20yrs when I saw it I knew what I'd seen.

    I was traveling an hour south of Salem, Oregon on I-5 at 10 pm in the spring of 1982. I kept seeing green and pink lights in my rear view mirror, and when it hit me what I had been seeing, I pulled off the road and got out of the car. All around me, the sky was filled with swirling, dancing waves of pink and green light. I felt elated, as if I were slightly high, and for a few minutes I was enveloped in the magic of the moment. But I had to two more hours of driving before arriving home, and would be missed, so I reluctantly got back on my way, grateful for the opportunity to not only see, but experience the northern lights. Haven't seen them since, but will never forget the feeling.

And he's just one of the scientists thrilled to be working on mitigation strategies, and I think substation protection is just one of the aspects of many Rodger is working on (that interview is more about protection satellites from falling into the Kessler cascade, the chain reaction where one zombie satellite bumps into another: exponential bumps in Earth orbit).

    Current solar physics intern here studying CMEs! I'm actually going to school for space weather as well! I have to say, great video, and I'm very glad you made it! This was really factual and better than 99% of the videos I see on RUclips on solar flares and CMEs. 7:32 is such a great idea of what the aurora is "doing," and something I have used to explain the processes in the magnetosphere and energy transfer to newcomers in the field.
    One criticism, G1 is really nothing for power grids, and unless you're a satellite operator you probably don't need to worry. Even G5 is not a big deal, we've hit G5 without major power grid issues before... but the problem is that after G5 there's no way to "categorize" solar storms based on KPI alone, you would have to look at other measurements like DST, AE, etc. It's like an F5 tornado - you don't know the difference between a strong F5 and a weak F5 just by saying, "it's an F5." The 1989 storm is a great example of how GICs (ground-induced currents) can cause transformers to become overloaded, burning them out if they're "wet" transformers (older transformers that have water contaminated in the oil, creating boiling water bubbles that shred paper insulation between coils, sparking fires).

G5 is nothing to sneeze at, but it's not exactly a global emergency... unless you're a satellite operator, airline pilot, grid operator (they do have to be a little more wary, etc.), or work in radio broadcasting (due to the ionospheric effects, although that's usually from the SEP's).
      Also, hello fellow academic! I've been working on my PhD in magnetospheric plasma waves for the past several years.

      Hey, current space physics PhD student here too! I think you’re right that other indices like Dst would be good additions, but isn’t the auroral electrojet mainly just due to the relaxation of the magnetotail? I’d imagine that’s more impacted by the By component of the solar wind more so than the total flux. But I don’t know much about that, it’s not really my area.

      @@espenfredrick7996 Espen, not sure about this because I am more focused on CMEs (cut my teeth on small-scale solar surface dynamics), but the AE can really be tied to a number of inputs, I think. Bz definitely plays a huge role along with by. AE is great because it is well-correlated with auroral substorms, and like you said, definitely has more to do with the magnetotail.
      Thinking about it logically, since the stations reading the AE measurements are at higher latitudes, they're also at higher L-shells, which I would expect to be most affected by the small instabilities in the magnetotail. I'm not sure if it's specifically a "relaxing," though, could be! That one is above my pay grade ;)

      It won't necessarily mean death, unless you're hooked up to critical electronics.
      The solar storm will absolutely destroy all our electronics, though. Might be worthwhile to disconnect your computer leading up to the apex of the event and take out batteries for a bit, just so you don't have your computer overloaded and fried.
      Your phone is toast, though. We'd be sent back to the 1950s if power grids are wrecked.

I was sleep deprived and hadn't eaten, and was having a terrible day. Then while driving (around 6:30pm) I see a shimmering light in the sky. I quickly recognize it's an Aurora, and pull over imediately. Luckily I was next to an open field, and the night sky was clear, so I got an absolutely breathtaking view of it.

      It is fascinating to contemplate time scales beyond a single life.
      I was on a very remote hike many many years ago on the big island, Hawai'i. On a clear night, which seemed to happen above elevations of 8000 feet (above the lower cloud layer), you could read a book at midnight by the light of the milky way galaxy! (not even a moon during those 17 days). When the moon did illuminate, it was spectacular. The reflection of moonlight from the ocean to the upper atmosphere and light scatter was enough to actually hike safely visually all through the night. Even in pretty dense foliage.
      There are also reports of distant supernova that were luminous equal to the moon as well. I would imagine those special events lasting several weeks, months, possibly even years would have been very eery to ancient civilizations. Or perhaps it was not so surprising. Our modern societies with artificial light and an aversion to doing much of anything well past the daylight hours have a stunted perception of the worlds that we actually live in.
      Add a little adventure into your life: go hiking by the light of the moon and gaze at the wonder of this planet when bathed in the unadulterated glow of our galaxy of stars. I will guarantee it will be an experience that will forever change how you "look" at this world.

If there were to be a strong solar storm during this time (the sun seems to follow an 11ish year cycle) and if there were to also be a solar mass ejection in Earth's direction while the Poles are in their equatorial stage of their flip, it would knocks out all broadband electrical circuitry and electrical grid. This is called a Carrington Level Solar event. It last occurred in 1859 when the magnetosphere was in a slightly weaker state, knocking out all telegram cables on the side of the Earth that was hit. This was just a few months before the solar maximum of 1860. Astronomers observed a huge increase in sun spots and the Aura Borealis was visible extremely far south. It's a complex set of events and phenomena that if occurred in today's technical society would be disasterous, knocking out satellites, power grids, broadband communication infrastructure. If a coronal mass ejection would be thrown towards Earth's direction during a complete equitorial pole switch, it could literally scorch the Earth. The last full pole switch was 780,000 years ago.

    Solar storms are a 'clear and present danger' for our civilization's power grid AND we don't have backup equipment(E.g. transformers) to handle another Carrington event. It's not a question of "If" but "When" a CME from a solar storm will hit the Earth. Michio Kaku also brought up this vulnerability several years ago so I'm glad you're discussing this as well. So Physics Girl, maybe get in touch with the Electromagnetic Pulse Task Force and impress upon them the seriousness vulnerability we have. Your genius in science is needed in our dark age world of ignorance and misinformation.

    yup. And we are in the middle of Sol 25 and the suns electromagnetic fields are very active. Great summary of the solar activity and what we may face next year. Another Carrington-like event could possibly fry most, if not all, electronic devices on Earth and send us back to the 1800s. Thanks for making this very informative video. Subbed!

      I watched a documentary with scientists in it who don't blame humans for climate change, they say the sun is the biggest culprit. That we do almost nothing. I can't remember the name of it now and tbh, it's probably banned for going against the grain.
      Anyway, some of them were saying that when the sun is very active, like it's going to be until 2025. We had big solar flares this year and low and behold... some of the hottest summer on record. As usual we are getting the blame for eating steak or driving a car. I think it's crazy to think the sun wouldn't be the thing controlling climate :)

      I don't think it was an observatory either, the remnants of the building would be massive and still exist somewhere. I think they were trying to build a flying machine like the UFO's we see today and it had to be stopped.
      There is a story about something happening in 2025 based on what a guy who said he was involved with the Philadelphia Experiment and went forward in time, in the year 2025 he saw a map of the US and it had a river going through the middle of it from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.
