[News] Solar Storm Warning

[Grassman]

Will a mighty wind blow?

 

[Gabbafella]

Turns out I quite like Solar flares.

 

[Zeberdi]

My app AuroraWatch
no significant activity 16.36.

I’ll let you know if I get a yellow warning. It needs to be red to see the aurora.

It’s daft isn’t it - I turned off my alerts because they were excessive but turned them on this morning - Day 1 of the Apocalypse and nothing… of course the solar flare could have knocked out their magnetometers

EDIT
Just had a red alert

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Now, we’re talking, I’ve just got a red alert 18.12.

In the event of the internet going down, @Bozza has initiated the standing procedures to transition NSC to a state of DEFCON 2.


(DEFCON 2 is the same as DEFCON 1, except The Thread full of Beautiful Ladies, Part II is printed off and laminated).

Surely the Thread of Beautiful Ladies, part II , should have been laminated from inception ?

 

[Van Cleef]

In such an event NSC goes analogue with people meeting in person to talk about football.

It may look something like this;

It has to be in my house!

Was going to go magnet fishing tommorow.

That explains the minke whale I found in my front room this morning then.

Does it, though? DOES IT??.??!.?!!?

I just saw The Titanic coming through the clouds. It’s begun.

To the capsules!

Looking forward to incredible northern lights tonight.

Apparently the biggest solar flares since the Carrington Event in 1859 when the developed worlds population wasnt entirely dependant on electricity. Back then it took out telegraph systems so could cause havoc potentially. I'm off to buy some bog roll.

I’ve still got some left from Covid (I don’t I better get to the shops! Fuuuuuuck)

 

[Taybha]

Ah ha at least it's on its way back to earth

In such an event NSC goes analogue with people meeting in person to talk about football.

What a ridiculous idea

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Aurora alert down to amber - northern England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland

Are fish falling from the sky yet?

There was a mackerel sky above Wiltshire this evening

Mackerel sky, mackerel sky, Never long wet, never long dry.
