Sun Weather UPDATE - WARNING! - A MUST SEE!
Great Solar Flare | September 6, 2017 ~
The sunspot group that released a major CME two days ago has just ejected another - this one an X-Class measuring 9.3, the 14th largest solar flare ever recorded. This one will also impact Earth in several days, while the impact from the first will reach us tonight.
This is a consecutive impact ALERT! Electrical, communications and health hazard conditions are likely at various locations around the Earth. Further updates and weather conditions will be posted as they become available.

Oh shit....
Time to use my faraday bags...and they said I was crazy.
Yeah me too. Better safe than sorry tho... Crazy like a fox! (Upvoted & following now for your comment. Thanks @kit8000!)
You in Texas?
Nope! Missed that one! But being born a Texan and now living in Florida, I guess fate figured it out and is sending Irma my way!
Karma can be a bee-atch! 💣
Damn....Really???
What did you do to piss off the karma gods?...lol
Well....Batten down the hatches....
I wish you luck and hope that your family and everyone affected by these hurricanes to stay safe and a speedy recovery.
Thanks bro! We just might need all the luck we can get!
Time to load up the Faraday cage.
You got that right @outwalking! I did the same to mine ~ radios, HDs, external drives, solar generator, backup laptop, & electrical test eqpt. Got any more ideas? (Upvoted & following for your comment - thanks!)
Thank you. I did come across this article on how to use a metal garbage can as a Faraday cage. All you need to do is get one of those metal garbage can (usually galvanized metal) and solder a wire (probably a heavier gauge - maybe a 1.0 - not sure). Cover it after you put the stuff in. They suggest to put a blanket or some kind of padding. Note: regarding the grounding wire, I figure a 1.0 should carry around 100 amps. But I have no idea how many amps will be released on an emp. If you are interested, check an AWG wire gauge chart to see what gauge of wire will carry how many amps. Sounds like you have quite a bit to protect. Maybe a garbage can is too small. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I've read that a galvanized can should do the trick. I also found this awhile ago from "Reality Survival":
I have a few copper mesh bags I bought a few years ago from "Solutions From Science": http://www.solutionsfromscience.com/product/emp-super-shield-solar-panel-bag/
Never tested them yet! Hope I don't have to!
Nice find, I saw that one too. I further read an article having to do with the size of the holes in the mesh and how that may or may not be effective. It was saying that there is a relationship between the length of the wavelength (of the EMP) correlates to size of the hole in the mesh. I don't remember the ratio between the hole size and the wavelength for the mesh to be effective. I will see if I can find the article and I will send you a link. But in a nutshell, if the ratio is not correct the mesh will be ineffective in protecting against the EMP. Another monkey wrench was how can you determine the wavelength of the EMP, this is another unknown. So the best solution I arrived at was to use solid metal (conductive) panels to build the cage and ground them at several points. This solution is definitely more cost restrictive. Final note. If you are successful in safe guarding your (say cell phone or radio) and no one else does, to whom are you going to be able to call or listen to. This is very pessimistic because I'm believe that they're at least a few others that are thinking the same way as you do and will have a working cell or radio transmitter. I will look for that article. Have a good day.
I couldn't find the article I initially spoke of but I did find another that discusses the holes in the mesh. Here's the link.

I hope this helps.
Hey thanks. That site's worth bookmarking. There's a lot of useful content there!
Your welcome. I think they show you how to make a tin foil hat also. That's just a joke. The funny thing is that back when I was in high school and pyramids where all the rage, I did make a pyramid hat and I still flunked all my tests. Have a nice day.
HA! Bet your teacher is looking for your essay on how to make theirs now! "What goes 'round, comes 'round!"
great work! keep it up!
Thanks pal!
Suspicious0bservers is the worst kind of scientist a lawyer and a snake oil salemen. Take everything he says as 50% science and 100% sales pitch.
What - you don't believe in scientific inquiry? I've never seen Ben Davidson "sell" anything but conferences for scientists to deliver lectures on their work. The earthquake prediction app costs hardly cover its development & research and has made thousands of people be more prepared for natural disasters before they occur. Can't say I agree with you, but you're entitled to your opinion nevertheless.
It's all a false flag, he is only selling his disaster app and pure science denial. Science that can't be put to a test because they are psychotic about only presenting or allowing supporting data. They (not just ben) don't allow opinion, they ghosted my account and set trolls to attack because I challenged his assertions that solar flares caused all the hurricanes this season even though the flares came after they all reached cat 4. His app doesn't prepare you for anything, even if it was accurate which it isn't, knowing that a 8 quake might hit somewhere along the coast of Mexico in the next two weeks would do what for you?
He banned over 2 dozen accounts today alone, I saw him delete any comment that call him out on using false data (over 39) to support his opinions. The channel lists 300k subs only 25k views for the biggest solar event of the past 12yrs, only 1200 likes and 30 dislikes. No channel on youtube has legitimate numbers like that, just isn't statistically possible for a channel that is proposing opposition to both climate science and earth quake prediction from solar events.
You don't have to agree but I'm just laying out the case for any that stumble apon your promotion, suspecious0bservers is going to get people killed by listening to that alternative reality.
Suspicious Observers has been subject to YouTube demonetization by banning, manipulating subscription lists, likes, etc., just as most conservative/anti-fake news sites have, and are continuing to experience. The establishment media/corporate interests - including Google/YouTube who've been bought & paid for to obscure the truth and promote banality - are desperate to sell their "New World Order" BS to the unaware sheep.
I know this won't affect YOUR beliefs, nor do I care to dispute them or attempt changing your mind. Like I said, many of my brothers in combat gave their lives to protect that right you are entitled to. Your beliefs are up to YOU, and only you are responsible for the consequences of your beliefs and actions (or inaction, whichever the case may be).
But for those who may be reading this, here's a link they may find informative and enlightening:

I don't have "beliefs" I base my opinions on facts and scientific testing. I observe and investigate, I follow the money and watch the manipulation live. How do you tell a genuine source from a con artist? You watch to see which comments and accounts they delete, you trace the IPs, follow the manipulation and you analyze the innuendo. Suspecious0bservers is a honeypot false flag, pure manipulation is not truth, (the fact that they overstate and misstate findings and summaries of papers they cite would be proof enough.)
You are wrong, suspecious0bservers is a sponsored fake climate news outlet, their claims are fictitious. Except for the demonetization, they are guilty of padding their numbers and fake science (youtube demonetized many fringe channels to retain the cash, not some grander conspiracy but simple economics.) The Russian hack of social media last year triggered many responses by youtube to mitigate liabilty for promoting false science, conspiracy and basic nutjobbery for profit. Youtube is scum because the manipulate everyone for their own benifit but that doesn't make channels like s0 any more valid.
